Some thought that the benefits outweighed the risks, others thought the opposite. # ALTERNATIVE NAME 2: Statement 2 - In general, the group was in favour of nuclear power, although with reservations. We had different opinions on whether to build a new power station or not, but overall felt that the climate change issues outweigh the dangers of a new station.

However, we do think that it is a vital and much needed source of energy, and should be researched further. # ALTERNATIVE NAME 3: Statement 3 - There is a strong argument for building a new nuclear power station, and nuclear power is a key part of the energy mix in the future. There are benefits and risks to the environment and community, and the public should be involved in the decision. # ALTERNATIVE NAME 4: Statement 4 - The group, in general, was in favour of nuclear power, although with reservations.
