Government launches public energy consultation

The Department for Trade and Industry has launched a public consultation on future energy supplies. Entitled "Our Energy Challenge: securing clean, affordable energy for the long term", the consultation considers all aspects of the energy system including both energy supply and demand. The entire 77-page consultation document is available here as a PDF, with details of how to obtain a paper copy available on the website. Responses to specific questions can be submitted online. A somewhat less technical forum for debate on nuclear power can be found on a BBC talkboard.
