DECC calculator proves nuclear is not needed.

DECC's new tool shows emission cuts of 80% by 2050 are achievable by 2050 with NO new nuclear!

 

 

Chris Huhne announced the launch of DECC's online "2050 Pathways Calculator" yesterday. This tool allows people to explore the combinations of effort in each sector which combine to meet the UK’s emission reduction targets while also matching energy supply and demand.  There are four levels capturing the range of futures for each sector and those can be combined to create hundreds of pathways that achieve our target to reduce emissions by 80% by 2050.

 

A very quick play with this useful tool shows that this is achievable with NO new nuclear

Thanks DECC for showing it is possible... now lets get on with it!!!!!
