英国绿党放弃长期反核立场

英国绿党在党代表大会投票通过决议，宣布放弃坚持已久的反核电政策1。新决议移除了党章中"对核裂变的全面反对"条款1，允许党内当选代表根据具体情况评估核项目1。

绿党仍将海上风电、陆上风电和屋顶太阳能列为优先能源选项1，但承认核电在向可再生能源过渡期间可发挥作用1。党员卡拉·德尼尔表示，"这一政策演变并不承诺党支持新的核电，但承认这一电力来源在我们向主要基于可再生能源的电力生成过渡时将继续存在"1。德尼尔的立场变化尤为明显，她在2023年曾称核能"极其缓慢且极其昂贵"1，现改称保留现有核电站运营可能是低碳选项1。

这一转变反映党内的不同声音。党领导人扎克·波兰斯基曾将投资新核反应堆比作"制造传真机"1，前共同领导人阿德里安·拉姆赛去年批评政府对塞兹韦尔C的支持1。

The Green Party of England and Wales has voted to overturn its decades-long stance against nuclear energy, marking a significant shift in the party's environmental policy 1. The party conference passed a resolution removing its blanket opposition to nuclear fission, allowing elected representatives to assess nuclear projects on a case-by-case basis 1.

Under the revised position, the party continues to prioritize offshore wind, onshore wind, and rooftop solar as preferred energy sources, yet now recognizes that nuclear power may play a transitional role as the country shifts toward renewable energy generation 1. Party member Carla Denyer explained the rationale behind the change, stating: "This policy evolution does not commit the party to supporting new nuclear, but acknowledges that this source of electricity will continue to exist as we transition toward electricity generation that is predominantly based on renewable energy" 1. Denyer notably adjusted her previous stance from 2023, when she characterized nuclear energy as "extremely slow and extremely expensive," to now suggesting that maintaining existing nuclear power stations in operation could represent a low-carbon option 1.

The policy reversal reflects a broader recalibration within the party, despite previous skepticism from leadership. Party leader Zack Polanski had previously compared investing in new nuclear reactors to "manufacturing fax machines," while former co-leader Adrian Ramsay had criticized the government's backing of Sizewell C 1.
