publication of a further white paper setting out our proposals." The Energy Review was therefore to be this public consultation. Energy Review, 2006 In the light of a fast changing world energy context, increasing dependence on oil and gas imports, concerns about carbon emissions, and a need to accelerate investment in electricity infrastructure and power stations the UK Government undertook the 2006 Energy Review. One aspect of the 2006 Review dealt with development of nuclear power. Greenpeace challenged the Government's process of consultation on proposals to develop nuclear power and following a judicial review requested by Greenpeace, on 15 February 2007 the consultation process was ruled 'seriously flawed', and 'not merely inadequate but also misleading'. As a result, plans to build a new generation of nuclear power plants were delayed while the UK Government reran the consultation process in a way that complied with the court's decision. See Nuclear power in the United Kingdom for details. Contents The Energy Review Report 2006 came out as a broader and more balanced document than critics (in advance) had expected. It started by reiterating the government's four long-term goals for energy policy: To put the UK on a path to cut carbon dioxide emissions by some 60% by about 2050, with real progress by 2020; To maintain reliable energy supplies; To promote competitive markets in the UK and beyond, helping to raise the rate of sustainable economic growth and to improve productivity; and To ensure that every home is adequately and affordably heated. It then identified two major long-term energy challenges: Tackling climate change, along with other nations, as global carbon emissions from human activity continue to grow; and Delivering secure, clean energy at affordable prices, as we become increasingly dependent on imports for our energy needs. The Review took an internationalist response, stressing that the world's economies need to get on a path to being significantly less carbon-intensive, and noting rising global demand, especially from countries such as India and China. This means using less energy in products and services and changing the way energy is produced so that more of it comes from low-carbon sources. It also identified the need for a fairer distribution of energy around the world, and identified that many resources, especially of fossil fuels which are concentrated in just a few countries. It placed its main concerns and proposals into three groups: Saving Energy The starting point
