Scottish New Labour manifesto out today

The Scottish Labour Manifesto is out today. It says there should be a 50% renewables target for 2020; and it has good mentions of Decentralised Energy, but........

I am told that Scottish Labour will adopt an energy policy that gives consideration to all sources of energy including renewable, nuclear, gas, coal and oil and we are committed to ensuring a safe and secure supply of electricity which is sustainable and affordable. Whilst we recognise there are ongoing concerns about different sources of energy generation, we will not rule out any single energy source, as this may risk both the security of our electricity supply and thousands of jobs across Scotland. Scottish Labour will work to resolve how nuclear waste can be managed and disposed of safely.

Do we really want jobs like this?
