Commenting on the publication of a list of 11 possible sites for new nuclear power stations, Liberal Democrat Shadow Energy and Climate Change Secretary, Simon Hughes said: "A new generation of nuclear power stations will be a colossal mistake regardless of where they are built."
"They are hugely expensive, dangerous and will take too long to build.
"There is a real danger that the Government is becoming too close to and the big energy companies.
"The best answer to Britain's needs is a massive expansion of renewable energy. If billions of pounds are wasted on new nuclear sites the money simply won't be available to do this."
