in 2006, as Lib Dem energy spokesman, he claimed no private investor had built a nuclear power station without ‘lashings of government subsidy’ since the 1980s, in 2007 he described nuclear power as ‘a tried, tested and failed technology, which is clearly a costly blind alley’ and condemned Tony Blair for a ‘U-turn’ on the issue,
although the Lib Dems were opposed to nuclear power in their election manifesto, Mr Huhne said their position changed as part of the Coalition deal, he added: ‘And when I do a deal, I deliver it.’ many people have criticised Chris for his 'U' turn, but I have to admire him for publicly changing his mind when he made a mistake, I just hope that the tree huggers do not make nuclear provided electricity pay for their hugely expensive wind farm produced energy, but wait what a great idea - you can chose what electricity you can be billed for, nuclear or at three times the price wind power!
