The SNP have slated Truss's proposals to tackle the energy crisis
It is expected Truss will unveil a plan to tackle the energy crisis within 24 hours of entering office, with nuclear energy thought to be key to any upcoming strategy.In response, SNP MSP Fiona Hyslop has said that the Tory Government’s “catastrophic energy policy” is cause for despair for businesses and families up and down the country.] want to prioritise traditional nuclear fission energy plants and fracking. This is both negligently wrong-headed and dangerously short-sighted.
“It will be decades before new nuclear stations are operational and they will also be expensive and actually make household bills even more expensive. It is deliberately misleading to suggest nuclear as the answer when the need for viable solutions could not be more urgent." Hyslop went on to argue fracking would not offer an immediate solution to skyrocketing energy bills but would serve to accelerate the climate crisis.
She argued:"Relying on fossil fuels is not a long-term solution when there are better options available to provide Britain with a secure supply of clean, safe, renewable energy without further jeopardising our planet. “If Truss, as expected, replaces Johnson as Prime Minister, she must provide an appropriate, comprehensive and substantial package of measures to help both families and businesses weather this storm that the inept Tories helped create.”
