(TASC)

June 22, 2023

" is sorry to have to announce that the long-awaited judicial review decision went against us. Obviously, we are devastated by the news, but we assure our supporters that the verdict in no way signals the end of our efforts. Together with our lawyers, Leigh Day, we are examining all possible options open to us and, in one form or another, TASC's campaign will continue.

"This decision enables EDF and the UK government to carry on with their plans to construct two EPR nuclear reactors, even though the Sizewell C project still has no guaranteed mains water supply for the 2.2 million litres needed daily to operate. In TASC’s opinion, the UK government’s determination to risk £billions of taxpayer funds to build ’s flawed EPR reactor design on 's eroding coast, without a guaranteed mains water supply required for its 60 years of operation in what is already a -prone area, is a travesty and will prove to be a financial and disaster."

On June 22, 2023, a UK judge dismissed the case against , threatening a fragile heritage site.

From the TASC website: " and all its supporting infrastructure will devastate untold acres of the wildlife-rich Suffolk Coast and Heaths AONB and its SSSI, as well as irreparably damaging RSPB Minsmere. The area, a 30 mile radius around the site, will change from rural tranquillity to brutal ."

Nuclear is agonisingly slow ( not ready for at least 13-17 years) & staggeringly expensive ( costs £33 billion) - meanwhile wind & solar are cheapest forms of electricity & ready to go *right now*. Starmer pushing wrong priorities, at wrong time, at wrong price

Reasonable!

So far, also other potential backers such as Nest and Legal & General have said they do not intend to fund the project.



RT @dorfman_p: Top UK pension funds snub Sizewell C nuclear plan.

'Industry source said C would still not be an appropriate investment for ‘typical big-name UK pension schemes’, as they see the risk of cost over-runs and delays being too high.

Liar.
The waste heat heats the lido.
He's implying that there's a danger in using waste water.
There isn't.
He's a misinformation pedlar.

RT @dorfman_p@twitter.com

Couldn't make it up ...

'A lido (open air swimming pool) using waste water from the new Sizewell C nuclear power station is among proposals contained in a blueprint for the transformation of a neighbouring Suffolk town.' .....

Very important point, and one that local residents recognise from regular encounters with bad weather. If nuclear power has a future (debatable) - indeed our entire crumbling east coast - is not in any way a suitable site twitter.com/SayNo2SizewellC/st

"From the disastrous track record of this type of reactor we remain convinced it is fundamentally flawed. The government is backing a turkey, and it would be madness to tear up the Coast without it being fully proven."

UK Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy admits has very long construction times, 13 to 17 years from final investment decision.

This means wouldn't generate power until 2036 and 2040 – far too late for and crises.

plan appears about as flawed as possible as it's French partner is failing epically in France.

The cost is already obscene when instant power release of stored renewables is sorted by etc

Wikipedia "... In 2022, UK Government announced a buy-out to allow for the exit of CGN from the project and forming a 50% stake with EDF.

Groen Engels parlementslid vat strategie van Groene partijen rondom kernenergie wel goed samen.

In 2008 was ze tegen omdat een kerncentrale ‘pas vanaf 2017 energie kon leveren’.

In 2022 is ze tegen omdat het pas ‘over 13 jaar energie kan leveren’.

But, yeah, let's get to build . What could possibly go wrong, eh?

1/2 of France’s reactors offline, essentially bankrupt. €45 billion in debt, facing €29 billion loss this year, exponential radioactive waste and decommissioning costs, and estimated €50 billion bill for mandatory safety upgrades.

Bone-headed & senseless decision. Govt says 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

RT @dorfman_p: UK Govt. can say what it likes.

Fact is, the city has fled nuclear, and if finance market investors don't take up the remaining majority 60% construction costs, Sizewell C is going nowhere.
