The Observer has discovered that AEA, a firm with interests in nuclear energy, played a large role in collating and sorting through the submissions to the recent energy review. The Environmental Change Institute submitted a thorough review and it took us several weeks to gather evidence and compose a response to the proposals so it would be disappointing to think that any bias was introduced to the review by external consultants with vested interests.
As Bob Everett from the Open University noted:
”There’s a great gulf between what’s in the review and what’s in the submissions… when I think of all the people who sent in submissions, I think they’ll be very, very angry, but not surprised.”
Couldn’t have said it better myself.
