"New nuclear power at Wylfa would be nothing but an expensive distraction from clean, fast & cheap renewables already available to us. We need to cut emissions fast, but even the most optimistic backers admit it’ll take a decade for new nuclear to be up & running" greenparty.org.uk/2025/11/13/w...

You need to set aside a good 15 minutes to read through all these #SizewellC road closures and traffic management schemes. North South West East - everywhere affected. The best advice? Stay home if you can blot out the pile-driving noise.... #StopSizewellC www.szcworkstracker.co.uk/sizewell-c-r...

The thing we don’t hear, have never heard and you won’t read today is what the energy will cost - I’m not sure the government or industry knows. If it does, it doesn’t want to say. That’s an informational black hole at the heart of all the SMR hot air.

We hear a lot about these new mini nukes - Small Modular Reactors - their official name. Fast to deploy we hear, if you call ten years fast. Lots of jobs we hear, but at £3bn for 3k jobs it works out to £1m per job - is that value for money…? (Forty years of average UK pay per job).

#RachelReeves likely to raise income tax yet finds £bns of public funds to spaff on dirty/costly/slow to deploy #nuclear requiring overseas uranium, & means fossil fuels burn for longer! £2.5bn on "SMRs [which] are a new – & untested – technology" Madness! www.theguardian.com/environment/...

In an increasingly unstable world, nuclear power is both a target & a weapon "Russian drones had targeted two nuclear power substations deep in western Ukraine, Kyiv’s foreign minister said, calling on the UN’s nuclear watchdog to respond." #SayNo2SizewellC www.theguardian.com/world/2025/n...

Totally agree. Also, @RachelReevesMP has risked £14bn+ of public funds on Sizewell C - the same flawed EDF EPR design as Hinkley Point C, choosing to prop up the ailing French nuclear industry & big business over 'working people' & the rest of the UK population! #SayNo2SizewellC

No surprise that #HPC is bracing for yet more setbacks. The latest schedule for completion is likely to be pushed back by at least another year. But what is really shocking is @UKLabour have risked £14bn+ of public funds on Sizewell C - the same #EDF EPR design! www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Last year, the world added a record 582GW of #RenewableEnergy generation capacity. That’s over 91% of all new power – with nuclear nowhere. In fact, each year, #nuclear adds as much net global power capacity as #renewables add every two days. #climate www.newcivilengineer.com/opinion/a-go...

Many thanks to all the good folk of Suffolk who turned up in good numbers to show that #EnoughIsEnough

Hinkley Point B #nuclear to begin 95-year decommissioning plan. That's 95 years. And millennia for the radioactive waste. bbc.com/news/article...

Something that is never factored into the published cost of nuclear energy, a near century long clean up. We pay for this. Current bill, £120 billion and climbing. Sizewell C will be just more of the same. Expensive power and a toxic legacy for thousands of years. buff.ly/fvUNHbs

#EnoughIsEnough Fantastic to see over 400 people united against the cumulative impact from the onslaught of energy projects with Sizewell C & onshore EA1N/EA2 already devastating vast swathes of the East Suffolk countryside, much in the AONB. Yet more planned! #SayNo2SizewellC

Gonna need a bigger rug to sweep it under.

Anyone wonder what else they might not have considered? How about: A way to safely store the highly radioactive waste for the hundreds of thousands of years that it will remain deadly?!

Ever wonder about where the UK's economic resources are being spent? Our filthy nuclear "industry" is eating up a lot of them, and supporting few and not very good jobs. OK, we have to pay for the mistakes of the past, but we should also learn from them, and *cease work* on All New Nuclear.

How about a #Labour Nuclear Minister 'visits' East Suffolk to walk the rapidly eroding coastline with locals to understand their grave concerns about the risks of Sizewell C & its spent fuel being sited in such a vulnerable location at risk from #climatechange impacts till 2160+! #SayNo2SizewellC

Sellafield Ltd Awards £4.6 Billion Hazard Reduction Contracts For UK Nuclear Site "Last year the UK’s public spending watchdog said the cost of cleaning up Sellafield was expected to increase by £21bn to £136bn." #SayNo2SizewellC www.nucnet.org/news/sellafi...

4a/x Just as an aside I am mystified why the National Wealth Fund is lending £36bn to Sizewell C (which is not essential for meeting climate or Clean Power 2030 targets) but there seems to be some difficulty with the idea of using it for offshore wind (essential for both) Maddening

"the vast majority of #SizewellC’s £££s comes from our taxes & energy bills so the reality is we are paying for [such] projects ourselves. Govt will learn well before Sizewell C is completed that there were better ways to spend our money” #SayNo2SizewellC www.newcivilengineer.com/latest/sizew...

"The Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant (ZNPP), which has six reactors, was captured by Russian troops early in the invasion of Ukraine in 2022. It has remained a dangerous potential flashpoint for a nuclear disaster ever since." #SayNo2SizewellC www.independent.co.uk/news/world/e...

How times have changed! Labour Energy Minister M. Wicks said in 2006 "There will be no subsidies, direct or indirect. We are not in the business of subsidizing nuclear energy. No cheques will be written; there will be no sweetheart deals." #SayNo2SizewellC www.cato.org/regulation/f...

Shocking images- do watch. Thorpeness- "10m of land taken by the sea in just a fortnight..The sheer speed of the erosion has shocked everyone" Why no mention of the 🐘 in the room- it's not looking good for yet to be built Sizewell C, just a short distance away! www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/epis...

Thorpeness, just a short distance from Sizewell! "It is devastating to see but time & tide will wait for no-one"..."the rate at which the coast was eroding was "horrifying". Surely it's time for a major re-think of risking £bns of public funds on Sizewell C www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

"Keir Starmer, promised these plans will deliver a “golden age” of nuclear energy that will also “drive down bills”. Yet the history of nuclear power has been decades of overhype, soaring costs & constant delays. Around the world, the trends point the wrong way" theconversation.com/the-hidden-m...

What a load of drivel from Chris O'Shea 'Sizewell C will probably run for 100 years,'- assume he is oblivious to the eroding Suffolk coastline & lack of sea defences. #Centrica invested because this #Labour government dumped the risk & cost overruns on UK bill/taxpayers!!! thismon.ee/a/15226267

Thorpeness- another home lost to the sea "It's very difficult to train the sea to do anything it doesn't want to do" Yet just up the coast, govt risks £bns of public funds on Sizewell C, burdening future generations to keep the site safe till late 2100s! www.eadt.co.uk/news/2557146...

Building more of these things is utterly irresponsible.

"The 20 mSv/hr reading is 20 times the annual occupational dose limit of 20 mSv/yr for nuclear workers, and the 80 μSv/hr rate is 40 times the typical public annual limit of 1 mSv/yr. Both radiation levels require immediate safety precautions." www.johnogroat-journal.co.uk/news/just-ho...

#Starmer et al call locals #nimbys & #blockers yet fail to visit to see the vulnerability of the coast. Recent erosion has left the ever advancing sea just a few metres from Sizewell C’s site leading to a likely recharge of part of the beach now! See 👇 www.crowdjustice.com/case/sizewel...
