Plaid Cymru's Leanne Wood on nuclear and renewable energy

Help

The leader of Plaid Cymru has clarified the party's position on nuclear power and how it relates to Anglesey.

Leanne Wood said although the party's policy is against building new nuclear power stations, Plaid would work to create jobs on the island.

The island's nuclear station Wylfa is due to end production by 2014 but there are hopes of a new station.

"I will be telling those candidates in that election to make sure they communicate Plaid Cymru's clear message with their voters, which is about doing everything that we can at local government level working with the assembly and also at Westminster level to create as many possible jobs as possible on that island," Leanne Wood told Carl Roberts for BBC's Sunday Politics show.

"People on Anglesey have got a different position - there are a range of perspectives. Plaid Cymru's position is clear and we favour renewable technologies and all efforts to be put into the creation of renewable jobs."
