Nuclear 'key' to Britain's energy future, says Centrica's Roger Carr Roger Carr, chairman of Centrica, has warned that Britain has to wake up to its future reliance on nuclear energy if it wants "to keep the lights on".

Carr: Nuclear should be part of U.K. long-term energy mix
The U.K. needs nuclear power as it shifts from carbon-intensive fossil fuels to newer types of energy, said Roger Carr, chairman of Centrica. Nuclear will help the country achieve its "lights-on requirement" and "decarbonization commitment," Carr said. "Without nuclear, I think one would never say impossible, but I would say [it would be] an incredible challenge [to meet those two requirements]."
