UK public consultation results

ByRod Adams

As part of the UK government decision making process, there was a period of public commentary. The responses were gathered and cataloged and are now available as part of the public record. You can find the documents at Department for Business Enterprise and Regulatory Reform: The Future of Nuclear Power – Consultation Home Page.

If you are curious about what people think about energy, climate change, fuel supplies, and a whole host of associated issues, I highly recommend spending some time clicking through the various options on that site.
