for those who hoped with the skills from sellafield literally across the road there would be manyjobson without greenhouse gases, electricity in the uk contributes about 20%. if we are going to meet our targets for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and playing our part in moderating climate change, its very possible we will still need more nuclear power stations. how does this leave us in terms of those targets now? well, we have a target of reducing our emissions by 80% by 2050 and i would say we are broadly on target for that, there is more to do in the future. but most recently the report of climate experts, the intergovernmental panel, have said maybe we need to do better than that and the government has no asks for a study of how we can do better than that. but if i return to nuclear power, let me say i think there are three big issues that will determine the next steps in nuclear power. one is the success of the big project thatis is the success of the big project that is already under way at hinkley point c, a huge project contributing our energy over a period of 60 yea rs. our
