Together Against Sizewell C (TASC) campaigns to rigorously oppose the construction of Sizewell C's two EPR nuclear reactors in the Suffolk Coast and Heaths National Landscape Posts & replies are TASC's own opinions.
It's good to see Emmanuel Macron confronted with the truth during nuclear summit.
"Nuclear Power = Energy Insecurity' and 'Nuclear power fuels Russia's war.'
One of them shouted at Macron, 'Why are we still buying uranium from Russia?"

"...a persistent claim is that nuclear power must also be a part of the mix, so as to back up variable renewables. But, there are easier ways to do that, via short and long-term energy storage and flexible supply and demand management systems..." www.banng.info/uncategorize...
"Putin ordered the evacuation of Russians from the Bushehr nuclear power plant in Iran. Hundreds of Russian construction staff are building two new reactors at the power plant - but work has been halted after “explosions” were audible near the facility."

It’s a disgrace. And Hinkley too. The building of St. Peter’s was quicker. Who knows if it’ll work as intended either?

Britain’s coastal erosion: see-saw on the seashore
www.ft.com/content/bb92...
Most of the original town of Dunwich was lost to the sea in storms a very long time ago. The little that is left of Dunwich is about 3.5 miles north of where the Sizewell C nuclear power station will be built.

More Sizewell C nonsense- it's not 'clean', relies on overseas uranium, at £40-£50bn it's certainly not cheap & won't produce its expensive electricity (expected at 2x market rate) for 15yrs+. In an increasingly unstable world nuclear is both a target & a weapon

Sizewell C is already at risk- now this! "Sea levels across the world are already “much higher” than most scientific assessments have assumed, according to new research, making coasts even more vulnerable to rising oceans as a result of global warming" www.ft.com/content/eb58... via @ft

🤞 for Thorpeness residents. However, East Suffolk council say "We're not quite sure where the erosion will finish, but it will finish soon, we hope..." Yet still govt plough on with Sizewell C expecting future generation to keep the plant & spent fuel safe for 150yrs!

Well said Matt Browne, of The Wildlife Trusts: “EDF’s claims simply do not stand up to scrutiny. Its approach falls short of what is needed to protect the Severn’s unique biodiversity and risks irreversible harm to the estuary’s fish populations.”
