Stop Hinkley
Campaign against nuclear power in the South West
It tells us what tidal energy from the Severn can deliver, by when, at what sort of cost, for the region and for the UK as a whole; and what needs to happen next. We now have a wonderful opportunity to do a properly rigorous analysis of ‘nuclear vs renewables’ – this time, with the focus on tidal energy rather than wind or solar as is usually the case.

No one knows, until the final bill for dealing with the waste has been totted up in thousands of years. EdF and the UK government are planning to dump the waste, and the costs of managing it, onto future generations.
We played a major part in the 14-month public enquiry in 1988/9 and continued to campaign for alternative renewable energy sources and energy conservation measures.
The closure of Hinkley A was announced in May 2000 as a result of our campaigning.
We have successfully fought against nuclear power and will continue to do so - but we need your support
