This morning I sent an email to Greenpeace's email list, explaining how the government is due to introduce huge tax hikes that could have a devastating impact on the UK solar industry. Here's the email below in case you missed it, and a link to the petition you can sign to push back.

 In advance of the Hinkley decisionto be made later this month, Greenpeace have released a new poll showing public support for Hinkley nuclear power station is at an all time low.

 

 Just a quarter (25%) of the 2000 people surveyed by Populus say they support Hinkley, whilst nearly half (44%) oppose it.

It's been a month since Theresa May announced a sudden pause on plans to build a new nuclear plant at Hinkley Point in Somerset. And though opposition to the project seems to get stronger by the week, the final decision could still go either way.

Greenpeace covers bogus claim with questions from public

Photos: can be downloaded from this link throughout the day.

The famous ‘Vote Leave’ battle bus has been acquired by Greenpeace and is being re-branded outside Parliament. The bogus £350m NHS claim is being covered over with thousands of questions for the new government from Leave and Remain voters – many of them about what Brexit means for the environment. The questions, written on stickers, are forming a montage that will spell out the words ‘TIME FOR TRUTH’ in huge white letters on the side of the bus.
