We went to Fran Crowe's exhibition "C Beyond" (at Dovecote Studios, Snape Maltings, 15 October- 7 November, daily 12- 4pm except Tuesdays) to mark the opening of COP26 because nuclear energy is NOT green. It felt like church should to me and as powerful as prayer. Bless you Fran

Let's be clear.

EDF Nuclear deeply in debt, posted record loss, in deep deep trouble.

Reason is clear - #nuclear just uneconomic.

#EDF new nuclear #HinkleyC costs ramp to £32 bn.

Why in earth is UK Govt even thinking about yet another botch at #SizewellC ?

[Together Against Sizewell C (TASC) @SayNo2SizewellC]

EDF's Pyke must be desperate to write this nonsense. Sizewell C borders @RSPBMinsmere, will be partially built on Sizewell Marshes SSSI, involves clearing 46ha of woodland for a car park. The biodiversity gain claimed is in the realm of unicorns &...1/3 https://t.co/Drfz6bGpG6

Spot on @AlanBrownSNP "Finland's [EPR reactor same design as SZC] is still not operational It is going be 14yrs behind schedule by the time it operates in the grid because it has found more problems. As far as I can tell, there is no successful... 1/2

No British companies in new Sizewell C design consortium: Egis (Fr), Jacobs (USA), Setec TPI (Fr) and Tractebel (Be).
Great British Nuclear is a phoney.

Well said @NFLAUKandI “The env & societal impact of the imposition of a new nuclear power project upon a community is off the scale compared to wind Yet @grantshapps wants to consider env impact & public opinion when it comes to wind, but not to nuclear"

ANOTHER delay - cracks in all 4 feedpumps starting to look like a design fault "Fingrid and the state energy authority have told citizens and companies to prepare for possible blackouts, particularly if #OL3 does not prove reliable" #EPR #StopSizewellC

Good Therese Coffey has "launched a petition calling for BEIS & National Grid to review all onshore energy connections along the Suffolk coast" but omits massive white elephant in the room, Sizewell C, which will cause 'huge disturbance' to @RSPBMinsmere

Wake up @grantshapps same design as Sizewell C
"The Olkiluoto 3 project — initially due to start full power electricity production in 2009 — has been besieged by problems & setbacks, including faulty components, safety tests, & a lawsuit"

Bone-headed & senseless decision. Govt says #SizewellC is vital to meet 2035 electricity decarbonisation target, but *its own impact statement* found we won't get supply for at least another 13-17 years - do the maths! Nuclear is hugely costly & simply can't help meet 2035 target

[Stop Sizewell C @StopSizewellC]

..."#SizewellC may have to rely on overseas investors who would pocket UK households' hard-earned cash. With a French developer, overseas owners and foreign uranium fuel, the claim of energy 'freedom' looks pretty hollow." #StopSizewellC

EDF's new boss has admitted "EDF itself is in a serious crisis, both technical and industrial, that is accentuating the strains on energy supply"
Can we really trust this company with a huge slice of the UK's electricity?

"The cost of generating power from tidal streams has fallen by 40% since 2018 – and last month a govt-backed research centre forecast prices could fall below #nuclear energy in little over a decade"

Notice that's before any power from proposed Sizewell C

[Dr Paul Dorfman @dorfman_p]

UK and France can sign any deal they like - but if finance market investors don't take up the remaining majority 60% construction costs, Sizewell C is going nowhere.

"And if I can assist those that are objecting to Sizewell here [Suffolk], then I’d be delighted to do so. It’s expensive, it is a white elephant, we can produce safe, green energy we don’t need nuclear.”

.@Ianblackford_MP: "If we develop tidal energy, we could get to 15% of the UK's electricity production. Vastly cheaper than current forms." #bbcqt

[Caroline Lucas @CarolineLucas]

Can’t believe that despite the talk of 'efficiency savings' the Govt is still pressing ahead with #SizewellC. The nuclear white elephant is far too costly & far too slow in context of climate emergency #AutumnStatement @StopSizewellC

[Together Against Sizewell C (TASC) @SayNo2SizewellC]

@bbcquestiontime The Sizewell C project is madness- unproven foreign-owned/designed technology, too expensive, too environmentally damaging, too slow to deploy, using UK funds to subsidise French state, no mains water supply...etc etc

Unfortunately, the energy efficiency measures have been kicked down the road till 2025 but the French govt's ailing nuclear operator EDF gets support now at the expense of £billions of UK tax/billpayers funds! #SayNo2SizewellC
