Letters to the Editor: Concern over ‘green’ status plan for nuclear power and gas

Draft EU plans that would allow nuclear and gas energy to remain part of the bloc's path to a climate-friendly future have come under criticism

It is with grave concern that I learn the EU are considering giving ‘green’ investment status to nuclear power and gas.

As a widely travelled grandmother, over the years I have encountered the perils associated with these exceptionally polluting and dangerous forms of energy, which have been discussed in depth for over 50 years.
