AN SNP activist has said that nuclear power is too expensive.

Mr Craig Wilson who works with Cunninghame North SNP MSP Kenneth Gibson wrote to the Largs 'News' to say: "The cost to the taxpayer for decommissioning nuclear power plants will be �950m in 2012-13 and �1.1bn for each of the following years.

"SNP dogma isn't the reason 'Hunterston C' isn't being built - simple economics is."
