NUCLEAR power is the answer to our energy problems and ticks every box. So it is wonderful news that plans for future UK power provision for what will be our 60 million-plus population include a nuclear power plant in Scotland. At last.
It will be clean energy that does not require the wind to be blowing at a certain speed or in a certain direction and does not need stand-by gas or coal stations in case it is not. That alone should have the nationalists and Greens drooling. Nor does it entail the blighting of our pristine countryside in forests of wind turbines and obscene profits for those on whose land they run.
Clarity and common sense at last. Only dogmatists and the blindly anti-nuclear could find fault. France has been relying on nuclear power for generations. Alexander Mckay, Edinburgh.
