Well said @BlackwaterBANNG "The need [for EDF Sizewell C] can hardly be described as urgent: this controversial project will not produce electricity until late in the next decade [if it evers works!]..." 1/2 banng.info/news/sizewell-c-g…

“What drives us down this road is sheer political prejudice. Not the facts. Because the facts do not support a case for cruelty.”

☢️ Hinkley Point C costs up by £3bn.
☢️ Sizewell C expected to take an extra 5 years to build.
⛔ It costs more. It takes longer. Nuclear power is not the solution.
ALT No new nuclear - the only sustainable future is a renewable future.

Coping with Climate Change – COP26 and Bradwell B
Not only would such a mammoth project be surplus to requirements, it would be exceedingly harmful to the environment adding to the calamitous impacts of Climate Change #No2BradwellB #LeaveBradwellBe

Surely some mistake. I was assured by very sensible people over ten years ago that it would be up and running by Christmas 2017; and similar expectations of 'significantly before 2025' by Government; and now this
I am shocked; truly shocked.

EADT Letter 06/01/21 "Actions speak louder than words & EDF’s actions with regard to Coronation Wood speak volumes about their lack of regard for & protection of our environment, their risible claims can only be described as pure greenwash"

TASC Chair Pete Wilx EADT Letter 09/10/20 points out the folly of UK subsidising EDF which is 85% French Govt owned "you, the electricity consumer, will pay to line the French Govt pockets should Hinkley & Sizewell go ahead to completion"

EA decides to permit water abstraction for those infamous BRB groundwork investigations turned down by MDC, as transfer of water taken from the excavation is 'essentially neutralistic'. But licence will self-destruct if work has not begun by 31/3/23...!?!

Good presentation from @memorybanks on nuclear power - well worth a watch if you missed it at the @EastGreenParty Summer Conference
I spent last Saturday sharing a platform with inspiring greenies inc. @sianberry @TerryReintke @catherinerowett @GreenJennyJones @GreenPartyMolly at the Eastern Region @TheGreenParty conference. And I talked about Nuclear Power policy youtu.be/tJVDGV5HjXw @ColcGreenParty

Please support our friends at #Bradwell they face the same devastation as we do here in #Suffolk from #EDF & #SizewellC
Your URGENT action needed - Suggestions for objections to go to MDC re Planning Application No. 20/00157 for more investigative drilling for the nuclear monstrosity with which CGN/EdF hope to wreck the Dengie.

You can walk away from wind turbines - they keep spinning but you can't abandon a nuclear power plant. To go ahead and build more (when we realise how vulnerable society is to pandemics and climate change) is some sort of insanity. youtu.be/XuHYnsAXjaU

Take note @beisgovuk @AlokSharma_RDG this is existing #nuclear. New nuclear 1st mooted 2006 to date has produced NO electricity and is an expensive irrelevance hindering climate goals
