The UK has set a world-leading net zero target. But simply setting the target is not enough &#8211; we need to achieve it.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Now is the time to take key actions which will determine the roles nuclear can play, recognising that they should only be adopted if they contribute to an optimised economic and environmental solution.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We might know a lot about nuclear energy &#8211; but it&#8217;s got to be viewed as a candidate for helping to reach net zero &#8211; not as an end in itself.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Net zero by 2050 certainly seems an ambitious target &#8211; and it will likely take decisive action to achieve it.<\/p>\n<p>Whether nuclear energy plays a big part remains to be seen, but it&#8217;s important to move the conversation forward.
