UK’s Green Party opposes £100 million government bailout for Sizewell C nuclear project

Responding to today’s news that energy company EDF will receive an
additional £100 million cash injection from the Government to help it
build the Sizewell C nuclear power plant, Green Party co-leader and MP
candidate in Suffolk Adrian Ramsay said

: “Nuclear power is a burden and a
risk, not a solution. The next decade is crucial for cutting carbon
emissions but nuclear will only slow the energy transition, not speed it
up. Even with constant injections of yet more taxpayers’ cash, the energy
from Sizewell C won’t come onstream for years, whereas more
cost-effective solar and wind can be deployed right now.
