Which Energy?

Parliament Launch of ISIS 2006 Energy Report

Final Announcement Note Room Change

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
