NO MORE nuclear power stations should be built in the UK, Scotland's energy minister says.
Writing in today's Scotsman, Jim Mather says the money needed for a new generation of plants could be used to develop long-term "clean" alternatives.
He adds: "With new nuclear power comes harmful radioactive waste, which cannot be ignored, and will leave a legacy lasting thousands of years.
"I believe the risks and uncertainties of nuclear power, in terms of waste disposal, decommissioning, security and health concerns, or cost, are far too great."
The Scottish Government has the powers to stop any development of Nuclear Power Stations in Scotland. For Wales the British make the decision. Whatever is in the best interest of Wales and it's people with regard to nuclear power, that decision should be made exclusively in Wales and by the Senedd without British interference.
