The report "A Corruption of Governance?"  was laucnhed in Parliament at the end of January with support from a cross-party group of MPs. The report exposes how Parliament's decisions in favour of new nuclear power have been made based on false evidence. 

The report has been published by our friends at The Association for the Conservation of Energy, and Unlock Democracy.  The Executive Summary of the report can be found here, and the full report is here. 

The report reveals that information presented to MPs on future electricity demand, the potential for demand reduction and the relative cost effectiveness of new nuclear generation has been absent, misused or flawed. This has resulted in a skewing of energy policy towards large centralised energy infrastructure, including nuclear, at the expense of demand reduction, the most cost effective policy option, and decentralised energy.

The conclusion of the report, and of the debate held at the Parliamentary launch, was that the issue must be reopened and the decision to support new nuclear power be reconsidered.
