[ANALYSIS] Interpreting government's mixed messages on nuclear power
Contradictions
But there’s a statement on new nuclear in the Integrated Resource plan that’s also central to the present controversy: Commence preparations for a nuclear build programme to the extent of 2500 MW at a pace and scale that the country can afford. This clause was presumably the subject of substantial debate and disagreement at the cabinet meeting that endorsed this plan. It replaced an earlier draft clause to “immediately commence the nuclear build programme”, without any consideration of affordability.
But the problem remains that the position is widely open to interpretation and used to back diametrically opposed standpoints.
