Petition Against Hinkley C
To the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change
Hinkley Point C Nuclear power station
We, the undersigned, strongly oppose the plan by EdF to construct a new nuclear power station at Hinkley Point in Somerset. Instead, a government-backed programme of energy saving and clean renewable energy would combat climate change and avoid the risks of a catastrophic accident, dangers to health and the storage of highly radioactive waste at Hinkley for 160 years.
There is no way of disposing of nuclear waste, so let's not create any more of it when there are clean alternatives!
