Blair says meeting energy/climate targets without nuclear a 'major challenge' - Forbes.com

LONDON (AFX) - Britain faces a 'major challenge' in meeting its energy needs and climate change obligations without considering nuclear power 'in the mix', said Prime Minister Tony Blair. Speaking during Prime Minister's Questions, Blair seemed to move further towards supporting construction of a new generation of nuclear stations. 'I still think there is a major challenge as to whether we can really make sure we can meet both our energy needs and our environmental targets without nuclear power in the mix,' he said. 'No-one has ever said it is the whole of the answer. The question is whether it's part of the answer as part of a sensible and balanced energy mix.'
