Nuclear power set to kill off renewable energy

The government's proposed Energy Bill is set to offer a blank cheque to the nuclear sector to build more power stations - a move which renewable energy firms fear will kill off future investment in green energy

Camp, demo and mass action at EDF’s Hinkley Point nuclear power station

Following the success of two recent mass actions at Hinkley Point nuclear power station in Somerset, the Stop New Nuclear alliance is now planning a third mass action, on the site earmarked for the Hinkley C mega power station.

In March 2012, around 1000 people took part in a 24-hour blockade of the entrance to EDF’s nuclear power station in Somerset. This was one of the largest and longest blockades of a nuclear power plant in the history of the British anti-nuclear movement.
