George Osborne: Don’t Waste Billions On Nuclear Power
George Osborne is on the cusp of wasting billions on nuclear power. The new nuclear plant he wants to build at Hinkley in Somerset is set to be the most expensive object on Earth – and already it’s at least 8 years overdue.
While Hinkley continues to suffer huge delays, and serious questions are being raised about the safety of the reactor, the cost of renewable energy is falling.
Rumours are now spreading that EDF – the company that wants to build Hinkley – could pull out of the deal, meaning the whole project could be on the rocks.
Let’s seize this moment to pile the pressure on George Osborne. A huge petition could convince him to abandon the project and back renewable energy instead.

To: Chancellor George Osborne
CC: David Cameron, Prime Minister
“Don’t waste billions of pounds building a new nuclear plant at Hinkley in Somerset. Please invest government spending in renewable energy instead.”
