The motion, adopted at conference, removes a “blanket opposition to nuclear fission” and instead commits the Green party of England and Wales to assessing nuclear projects alongside other low-carbon technologies.
Its electricity generation policy still prioritises offshore wind, onshore wind and rooftop solar as the primary sources of electricity, but allows elected representatives to support new nuclear reactors on a case-by-case basis.
This was one or the few areas I didn’t align with the Green Party before, as I believe that a bit of nuclear is kind of necessary to help round out less consistent energy sources as things stand. I think this is a reasonable stance.
How easy is it to recycle batteries?
For most type of batteries, relatively “easy”, that means you will recoved 99% of resources. The cost can be somewhat prohibitive, as using newely refined base materials can be cheaper.
Wikipedia is a good place to start if you are interested!
It’s frustrating to know that the cost being anything other than “cheaper” means that too many won’t be recycled.
