Petition: 100 per cent renewables rather than Small Modular (nuclear) Reactors

The UK/Ireland Nuclear Free Local Authorities are supporting a petition and
webinar hosted by 100 percent Renewables UK to condemn and counter the
one-sided pre-Christmas hearing convened by Parliament’s Environment Audit
Committee in support of the deployment of Small Modular Nuclear Reactors,
and to instead host an enquiry into the practicalities of a 100% renewable
future for the UK.

The initiative was launched by Dr David Toke, Director
of 100 percent Renewables UK and Reader in Energy Politics at the
University of Aberdeen. Dr Toke is now seeking signatures on the petition
which reads: We condemn the one-sided hearing on small modular rectors held
by the Environmental Audit Committee (EAC) and call upon the EAC to
organise an enquiry into the practicalities of a 100 percent or near 100
per cent UK renewable energy system. The petition can be found at
