Happy New Year all! Excellent @XRUK_Actions 2018 video -sadly more relevant today 'Silent night, lonely night All we do now is fight...

After its nuclear disaster, "Fukushima plans to become a leader in renewable energy...In its Renewable Energy Promotion Vision, the prefecture, home to 1.7 million people, aims to achieve 100% renewables by 2040, with a midterm target of 70% by 2030" www.theguardian.com/environment/...

“...the recklessly abbreviated schedule dictated by President Trump represents a complete abandonment of its obligation to protect public health, safety, and the environment from catastrophic nuclear power plant accidents or terrorist attacks,” www.commondreams.org/news/nrc-app...

"Quite frankly nobody knows what GB Energy is meant to be, but we [SNP] at least understood it was created to drive forward renewables jobs in Scotland – not blasted on extortionate [Sizewell C] nuclear power plants" #SayNo2SizewellC www.thenational.scot/news/2572822...

Continuing erosion of the coastline in front of the yet to be built Sizewell C nuclear plant This #Labour government is forcing future generations to protect the Sizewell site & its 4,000 tonnes of spent fuel till the late 2100s despite them having no voice in this decision! #SayNo2SizewellC

Uninsurable nature of #nuclear should end the debate in any system that claims to respect markets, responsibility, or realism. If a tech can't exist without forcing unborn humans to absorb its catastrophic downside, it's not a solution. It's a temporal externalisation of risk disguised as progress.

There is no private insurance market willing to underwrite #nuclear risk in full. Not accidents, not waste, not abandonment, not war, not institutional failure, not the passage of centuries.

Europe’s nuclear sites on high alert for drone threats in 2026 "Defence analysts have warned that a hostile state could target a vulnerable power station rather than resorting to the outright belligerence of launching a nuclear weapon" #SayNo2SizewellC www.thenationalnews.com/news/europe/...

"I once believed in the dream. I helped build the dream. & now, watching this 3rd act unfold I can only shake my head at the déjà vu. Because the nuclear industry’s latest pitch isn't a revolution but a rerun- an expensive distraction from real climate solutions" www.theenergymix.com/the-nuclear-...

As the year draws to a close, TASC is extremely grateful to all our supporters for their continued dedication to our cause and offers our warmest wishes for a very merry Christmas, a peaceful holiday season and a happy new year. See more 👇 www.crowdjustice.com/case/sizewel...

Devastating that 2 more homes may need to be demolished in Thorpeness. The coastal erosion risk - just to the north of Thorpeness at Sizewell must be acknowledged as a burden on future generations over Sizewell C's full lifetime till the late 2100s! #SayNo2SizewellC www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Anyone who has walked through the woodland next to Sizewell C knows how magical it is. It’s is one of a kind and being destroyed for an overly complex, eye wateringly expensive and needless nuclear power plant. Still we get to keep nuke bombs under US control.

2026: more Sizewell C road closures & chaos. SZC say "we work to improve the local road infrastructure" TASC say SZC is 'gaslighting' - the new roads would not be needed if it were not for Sizewell C - these roads represent additional environmental damage www.szcworkstracker.co.uk/project-upda...

Govt say “Climate change is at the heart of this govt’s agenda, both adapting for the future & becoming a clean energy superpower" Yet Sizewell C, as approved, isn't resilient to extreme sea level rise - see👇 nor is it 'clean' www.crowdjustice.com/case/sizewel... www.theguardian.com/environment/....

"EDF's financial situation continues to be a cause for concern. At the end of 2024, net debt reached €54,3 billion..." And #Miliband et al are relying on EDF to complete HPC & build Sizewell C, claiming these #nuclear plants will provide energy security!! entrevue.fr/en/societe/e...

Biodiversity Net Gain: can developers be trusted? "When I learned that this woodland, known as Goose Hill & much loved by ramblers & bird-watchers, was to be entirely flattened & covered in concrete for a [Sizewell C] construction site, I was heartbroken" eastangliabylines.co.uk/environment/...

Old Sparky: "...but what about EDF's next nuke at Sizewell, for which Starmer himself gave the final go-ahead in July? He has set neither a completion deadline nor a fixed budget for Sizewell C - EDF refuses to accept either. despite Starmer bankrolling it with billions of taxpayers money."

"In Massachusetts, residential proximity to a nuclear power plant (NPP) was associated with significantly increased cancer incidence, with risk declining by distance, according to a new study led by Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health." hsph.harvard.edu/news/cancer-...

Investor beware: "Nuclear is NOT green energy, but permitting the use of money raised from green investors in the management & disposal of high-level radioactive waste, which poisons people & our planet for millennia, must surely be the ultimate travesty" www.nuclearpolicy.info/news/let-the...

"Here's the hard truth. Nuclear power doesn't fail because of ideology, it fails because of cost schedule and risk" #SayNo2SizewellC youtu.be/7cEZ-VNb43U?...

No surprise- do read "Although supposedly independent, three of the five taskforce members had clear links to the nuclear industry... handy for a body charged with identifying the means to sideline Britain’s ‘overly bureaucratic’ nuclear regulations..." www.nuclearpolicy.info/wp/wp-conten...

"Not one of those Prime Min­is­ters will be account­able for [HPC's] toxic high level radio­act­ive waste that will be lurk­ing on the Severn estu­ary coast­line far into the future for our chil­dren’s chil­dren to pay for and deal with" www.pressreader.com/uk/western-m...

Au revoir coastal #nuclear 'Sea ice loss opening up vast areas of dark ocean, absorbing, rather than reflecting heat raising global temp. Greenland ice sheet lost 129bn tons ice 2025. Sea level rise menaces coastal cities for generations to come.' www.theguardian.com/world/2025/d...

Pointless tech. HS2 Hinkley Point Sizewell C www.theguardian.com/news/ng-inte...

Well said StopSizewellC- Sizewell C beach closures "will drive away those people not already put off by the noise, spatial & visual changes. We are also very concerned about the impact on marine wildlife... This area will never be the same again." www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

“The situation at Hinkley C is not an indictment of environmental protection, but of poor planning, weak accountability, and a persistent willingness to blame nature for the consequences of human decisions.” www.burnham-on-sea.com/news/wildlif...

When Labour supporters keep telling us how much good they are doing - remind them of this very expensive folly that doesn’t bring us energy security nor lower costs. See also carbon capture

"Nuclear power has obvious dangers and its production must be stopped. We need a safe, genuinely sustainable, global and green solution to our energy needs, not a dangerous diversion like nuclear power." #SayNo2SizewellC beyondnuclearinternational.org/2025/12/14/d...

TASC said it was "immoral to proceed with Sizewell C in the knowledge that the approved project is not resilient to an extreme sea level rise scenario" According to the Suffolk Coast Forum- a partnership of local agencies - a sea level rise at Sizewell🧵👇 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

"The subsidies offered [for Sizewell C] are far more extensive than those acknowledged by government and represent large amounts of public money being given to the private investors for no public return..." #SayNo2SizewellC nuclear-news.net/2025/12/15/2...

The funniest part is that the reactor will sit below ground level, in a 35 m deep shaft (that will make maintenance fun). They haven't dug the hole yet, so we can't even say "it's just a hole in the ground for now"

For the avoidance of doubt, while a BWRX-300 reactor is now under construction in Canada, it has only progressed to the point of building a shed where parts of the reactor will be put together. GE Vernova promise that the plant will be exporting electricity in 2030 – we shall see.

There is no safe way to dispose of nuclear waste. Why the actual fk are they investing in this? It is as far from ‘green’ as it possible to go.. 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

Hi Prem. Suspect you're already aware of everything he covers but interesting to see the views of nuclear from Paul Brown. Absolute madness.

The deal to build the Sizewell C, two #nuclear reactors using the European Pressurised Reactor (EPR) design, using the Regulated Asset Base (RAB) finance model was inevitably a bad one for the UK public. policybrief.org/briefs/sizew...

Environmental protections can’t be an afterthought In a hearing on Tuesday, @sayno2sizewellc.bsky.social took the Government to court over Sizewell C, warning that hidden sea-defence plans could destroy rare marsh harrier habitat and other vital Suffolk wildlife www.telegraph.co.uk/business/202...

Howard disagreed with #Starmer’s decision to fully adopt the Fingleton nuclear report which made a number of suggestions, including "changing rules around protected species & increasing radiation limits for those living near or working in a nuclear power plant" www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Rosatom "has not faced full blocking sanctions from the U.S, EU, or UK- all of which continue to import Russian nuclear fuel or uranium- despite its active role in some of the most troubling aspects of the conflict, including war crimes at Ukraine's Zaporizhzhia" kyivindependent.com/explainer-wh...

Well said #CraigBennett, couldn't agree more Do read folks - #KeirStarmer is plunging us towards a nightmare before Christmas - "Govt is preparing to break more promises...and in so doing, threaten wildlife & the wild places we all know and love" www-express-co-uk.cdn.ampproject.org/c/s/www.expr...

Not the result we wanted - TASC is extremely disappointed to advise our supporters of the judge's decision to refuse permission for a judicial review in relation to Sizewell C’s secret additional sea defences. In TASC’s view, it is immoral...🧵👇 www.crowdjustice.com/case/sizewel...

A must-read article: "An analysis of the Sizewell C deal shows that balance of risks is one-sided with the risks falling almost entirely on taxpayers and consumers, with minimal penalties and generous incentives offered to investors. The subsidies...🧵👇 1/2 policybrief.org/briefs/sizew...

"behind [Starmer's] uninspiring statement [that he is implementing the Nuclear Taskforce review] lies potentially the biggest deregulation for decades, posing peril for endangered species, if wildlife experts are to be believed, & a likely huge row with the EU" www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Well said Dr Paul Dorfman- The Nuclear Taskforce came to its conclusions "without providing any evidence that [nuclear] regulation is responsible for huge delays and ballooning costs rather than the incompetence of the builders and the issues with designs" www.newcivilengineer.com/latest/de-fa...

Flood defences omitted from Sizewell C planning proposals “Ed Miliband’s refusal to entertain assessment of the impacts of Sizewell C’s hitherto hidden sea defences is symptomatic of this government’s cavalier attitude to the destruction of the environment” www.telegraph.co.uk/business/202...

More heartbreak for Thorpeness- just south of Sizewell- where govt expect future generations to protect the 'C' site & its spent fuel till the late 2100s! 'The relentless tide on our Suffolk coast...In recent weeks 6 to 8m has gone...The speed of erosion is staggering' www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/epis...

"At today's permission hearing, the judge decided to defer, making a decision until Friday 12th December so TASC will have to wait a bit longer to find out whether we have been granted permission for a full judicial review regarding Sizewell C’s secret sea defences"

“#SizewellC has got DCO approval to be built, but it doesn’t include these additional sea defences,” said @sayno2sizewellc.bsky.social. “That means they’ve never been assessed as to their environmental impact inc on RSPB #Minsmere or Sizewell hamlet.” #StopSizewellC hellorayo.co.uk/greatest-hit...

Together Against Sizewell C outside the High Court Today for our permission hearing regarding Sizewell C's additional sea defences. #SayNo2SizewellC

TASC's court hearing today “TASC is alarmed that Sec of State, Ed Miliband, is risking billions of public funds on Sizewell C in the full knowledge that the project, as approved in the development consent order, is not resilient to extreme sea level rise" tasizewellc.org.uk/permission-h...
