Don’t nuke the future of Britain with a new nuclear power plant
Please back green energy rather than expensive and untested nuclear reactors. Don’t nuke the future of Britain with a new Hinkley nuclear plant.
Why is this important?
Last month the government slashed and axed green energy subsidies because no money was left. But now the government is pushing full steam ahead with £17 BILLION subsidies for untested nuclear reactor at Hinkley.
How can there be on rule for green energy and another for nuclear energy? If there is no money for green energy how can there be BILLIONS for nuclear?
If there’s no money left why are we committing to subsidising a deal that’s been called as “economically insane” by city analysts and “one of the worst deals ever for British households and British industry” by Lord Howell, the pro-nuclear’ former Tory Energy Secretary.
Agree with me that paying billions of pounds for nuclear energy is wrong? Please sign the petition now.
There have been safety concerns over Hinkley. Two plants in Finland and France which use the same design, have been plagued with construction delays, spiralling costs and design flaws.
Hinkley is under attack from not just from campaigners and community but also from one of our biggest banks.
A report from HSBC on 2nd August 2015 warned that the massive cost was the new nuclear power plant was ‘becoming harder to justify.’ HSBC concluded: ‘We see ample reason for the UK Government to delay or cancel the project.’
The Hinkley deal is so outrageous and over-subsidised (£17 Billion), that ten green energy firms from Germany and Austria launched a legal challenge against it last month.
Let’s not lavish the nuclear energy with billions of pounds while we’re cutting back from renewable energy because apparently the piggy bank is empty.
The chorus of disapproval growing and if 38 Degrees members add our voice we could force the government to bin this bonkers plan.
