The Lib Dems say: "The Government should abandon these expensive white elephants and focus on increasing energy efficiency and the use of genuinely renewable technologies. This has effectively locked us into nuclear power for the best part of a century. By the time they are up and running in the 2020s nuclear power plants may be obsolete given the progress in renewable technologies. Energy conservation and investment in renewables should be our top priorities."
