Scientific Alliance: Phase Out Subsidies

I read an article and was moved to write the following email:

Dear Scientific Alliance,

I read with interest your news letter entitled Phasing Out Subsidies:

While I agree that subsidies for renewables should be phased out, surely subsidies for all sources of energy are equally bad. For example, why is there no mention of the £2.3bn annual subsidy that nuclear power receives?

Regards,

Tony Locke.
