EU environment ministers do not agree

02 October 2007

EU environment ministers have started to disagree on the use of nuclear in their respective countries. Interestingly the Norwegians are leading the debate stating that nuclear is not the panacea. This is most commendable as the UK are currently in the law courts arguing whether their consultation process was legal.
