No 2 Nuclear Power daily news roundup

No to Nuclear Power

Pete Roche's daily news roundup is an incredible resource. Click here to access today's roundup.

In the future, we will be trying to integrate it into this website.

This daily news is produced by No 2 Nuclear, and funded with help from the Nuclear Free Local Authorities, Greenpeace and Friends of the Earth, as well as donations from individuals and other groups.

A very rough guide to resisting nuclear power

 

Stop Nuclear Power Network broadsheet (Apr 2010)

Stop Nuclear Power Network broadsheetThe paper you are reading was produced by the Stop Nuclear Power Network, a non-hierarchical network of groups and individuals committed to resisting nuclear power in Britain and worldwide (see bottom left). With this paper, we are trying to do something to counter the spin of government and nuclear industry. Nuclear power is not the answer to climate change, neither is it safe, nor is it economical, nor is it needed.

Nuclear Power: Q & A (CND)

This Q & A explains the arguments against nuclear power, showing why it is not the answer to climate change, being far from a carbon-free energy source. Its true costs are summarised and its unique dangers are highlighted, including nuclear weapons proliferation, the potential for catastrophic accidents and the problem of radioactive waste.

Voodoo economics and the doomed nuclear renaissance

The economics of new nuclear power stations for the UK do not add up. It is not possible to achieve what the Government says it will do – build a new generation of nuclear stations in England without public subsidy.

Friends of the Earth Scotland: Nuclear Power campaign briefing

The nuclear industry is trying to promote itself as the answer to climate change. Yet, at the recent Climate Conference in the Hague, even the United States had given up supporting nuclear power. If Scotland were to build another nuclear station the costs would mean we would not invest in renewables, we would lose our world lead in wave power technology and we would leave even more nuclear waste for future generations to deal with.
