British protest against nuclear power

Protest planned against new nuclear power stations Bristol 24-7 January 19, 2010 A protest against the building of new nuclear power stations near Bristol will take place outside the Council House tomorrow, in advance of a debate to decide if the city will officially oppose the development.

Liberal Democrat councillor Dr Mark Wright has submitted a motion to the full council meeting tomorrow evening, calling on the city to reject plans to build new atomic power stations at Oldbury and Hinkley Point.

As reported by Bristol24-7 in December, the councillor for Cabot ward said nuclear power was “hopelessly uneconomic” and could cripple the city’s growing green energy industries. He added that problems arising from nuclear power would have a direct impact on the city – with Oldbury in South Gloucestershire lying just eight miles from Bristol.
