Greenpeace members wore masks of a character from The Simpsons TV show in a protest yesterday in London against nuclear power.

The demonstration was held in front of the Hilton hotel, where public hearings into the province’s proposed Green Energy Act were taking place.

Protesters wore plastic masks depicting Simpsons character Mr. Burns, a nuclear plant owner.

“Our main problem with the act is that it’s a lot of greenwashing,” Greenpeace volunteer David Major said.

“It’s presented as a green energy act, but it focuses a lot on nuclear.”
