Is nuclear the answer?

The SDC report manages to find one 'pro' for nuclear power and it is a dubious good at that:

the research establishes that even if the UK’s existing nuclear capacity was doubled, it would only give an 8% cut on CO2 emissions by 2035 (and nothing before 2010). This must be set against the risks.

See the report for the weighty 'cons'.
