Nuclear is only 3.6 per cent of our final energy consumption, so reduce the demand!

The government's energy review should look at reducing demand for electricity and gas rather than considering how to expand supply.

Analyst Kevin Anderson, based at the University of Manchester, told the BBC "Given that nuclear power provides only 3.6 per cent of our final energy consumption, the argument that the UK cannot meet its carbon dioxide targets without building a new generation of nuclear stations to replace the existing and aging generation is evidently wrong."
