Thank you, Mabon, for giving me a minute of your time for this important debate. Making our energy systems sustainable is one of the challenges of our time. Like the climate crisis, it's a challenge that reaches beyond our borders, therefore finding a solution must be an international task. Nuclear is both controversial and potentially dangerous, and it splits opinion. We have to be honest with ourselves about the world in which we live, one too often filled with division, violence and war. As we have seen this year in Ukraine, nuclear power plants are not intended for conflict zones, but we can never be confident that they won't become part of one.

Decades ago, two of the predominant reasons for cautious investment in UK technology were the time and costs associated with its development, and today, those exact same arguments are being made to stifle investment in climate-friendly renewable technologies of the future, such as green hydrogen and tidal. Instead of repeating the mistakes of the past, it's time to work together globally to create a truly green and renewable future. Thank you.
