Stop new nuclear power investment - choose renewables

Reverse the cuts to renewable energy funding, and end the future reliance on Chinese-funded nuclear power.

Why is this important?

The commitment to purchase electricity from a future Hinckley C is eye-wateringly expensive.
By contrast, the cost now for continuing our support for renewable energy is a tiny fraction of that amount.
Britain's national interest is being sacrificed on the altar of Chinese-invested-and-profited but UK-taxpayer-funded nuclear power.
We should take the opportunity to invest in renewable energy now, while borrowing costs are low.
