Green party drops longstanding opposition to nuclear power
Original: Green party drops longstanding opposition to nuclear power https://www. theguardian.com/politics/2026/ oct/05/green-part
The Green party has abandoned its decades-long opposition to nuclear power, according to the Guardian. The policy shift marks a major change for a party that has historically rejected nuclear energy on environmental grounds, and it is drawing attention in debates over Britain's energy strategy and climate targets. Reaction is likely to be divided between supporters who see it as pragmatic climate policy and members who view it as a break with core Green principles.
Why now: A historic reversal of one of the party's defining policy positions is a significant political story amid ongoing energy and climate debates.
