Hinkley Point C nuclear power station plan gets Government go-ahead

“As someone who was physically prevented by the organisers from being allowed to speak to the IPC Planning inquiry, I share the view that the permission granted to EdF to build new nuclear power stations at Hinkley point, in Somerset, must go down as the most terrible moment in inter generational history ever committed by one generation of human beings on another. A time scale, so remote, that historically, it was the time of **** erectus, before even nuclear Neanderthals were a twinkle in their eyes. In order to appease our current greed for unlimited supplies of unsustainable energy, it is necessary to impose on unlimited numbers of future generations the most highly toxic mutating and life destroying waste substances ever created by man, for which there is no credible solution. Women beware, you and your infants are most at risk from the uncontrollable daily routine emmissions of toxicity proposed to exude from this male dominated and run corporate behemoth.

Further, there is an urgent need to educate through the media, the general public into the consequences of the 'strike and carbon price' subsidies, a task rendered more difficult, while common misconceptions about low carbon, cost and government aid abound. Despite the assurances glibly proffered by the nuclear industry and its cross party political servants, the only carbon free bit in the nuclear cycle, is what actually happens inside the reactor, other local and global processes in supporting this fire, contain some of the most carbon intensive industrial processes yet devised and whose figures have been massaged, just as the earlier Energy consultation process was deemed 'unlawful', to justify nuclear's low carbon image.

In a most spectacular duping of the British public, the British government proposes to pay for this remarkable and duplicitous scheme, by doing to our electricity bills, exactly the same as what the Cyprus government proposed to do to their citizens' bank savings accounts. That is, steal from ordinary people through their electricity bills, to pay for government and bank, in this case French, debts, elsewhere.

In case anybody was in any doubt at all about the well publicised safety of nuclear power, they should consider the neat government backed arrangement, whereby the inability to insure against any type of nuclear incident or liability for accident, is guaranteed by the government in a subsidy, that would represent a very substantial cost for any other business, but not EdF.

C'est la vie, (qui importe vérité)”

“Very disappointed and concerned re disastrous Hinkley decision today.
Long term pain for short term gain is all we can expect.
Not only will fuel prices go up for everyone now, those of us living anywhere near Hinkley (and potentially much further afield) will be in grave danger - not least from the waste for which there is still no plan for disposal.
If we have any care for our children and grandchildren, we should keep opposing this criminal disregard for anything but the greed of a few.

“Good! Now 'finger out' time and no further delays.”
