ISIS Press Release 22/05/06

 

Which Energy?

 

Parliament Launch of ISIS 2006 Energy Report

************************************

 

Final Announcement *** Note Room Change ***

 

Everything the Government's Energy Review Does Not Tell You

 

Ex-minister for the environment Elliot Morley rejects

nuclear energy and said of the UK government's Energy

Review: " If the review was open, transparent and fair

looking at the options on economic grounds across a whole

life cost assessment of nuclear stations, the solution may

well point to renewables. "

 

ISIS' Energy Report does that, and more. It brings together

the science, ethics, economics, safety and politics of

available energy options to help us make the right choices.

 

" Highly readable and comprehensive! " " Inspiring! "

" Excellent! " " Brilliant! " " Offers real solutions. "

 

Sponsored by dozens of civil society organisations,

politicians and citizens worldwide

 

The Report will be available at the Launch Conference
