Nuclear power: dirty, costly, dangerous. Decentralised and renewable energy: a clean, safe and efficient solution to meet our energy needs.

Summary

The government's 2006 review into the future of the UK's energy policy was used by Blair to give the go-ahead for a whole new generation of nuclear power stations.

Nuclear power will cost the Earth, will not stop climate change, produces deadly waste and is a target for terrorists.

This report is a response to the government's Energy Review. It does not seek to provide all the answers to the many questions that this review poses, but it does demonstrate that there is at least one viable set of options for achieving the government's key goals of CO2 emission reductions, a secure energy supply, economic growth, and alleviation of fuel poverty - without the need for a new generation of nuclear power stations.

Nuclear power: boom or bust?

A giant KAPOW is projected onto the dome at Sizewell

Over the past fortnight an enormous projection reading "KAPOW!" has materialised on several of the UK's nuclear power stations, highlighting the risk of terrorist attack to nuclear sites.

Greenpeace volunteers drove up to the perimeter fences of Dungeness, Sizewell, Wylfa, Oldbury, Heysham and Torness nuclear power stations and projected the cartoon-style image onto the walls.

Cleaner, cheaper, more secure - a new report reveals the real answer to Britain's energy needs

A residential area powered by combined heat and power (decentralised energy)

As the government's Energy Review veers ever closer to the conclusion that nuclear power is the only answer to climate change, a new report by non-profit research agency the World Alliance for Decentralised Energy (WADE) demolishes this myth.

Greenpeace Anti-Nuclear Action Hits Oldbury

An enormous 'KAPOW!' was projected onto Oldbury nuclear site earlier this morning by Greenpeace volunteers - to highlight the risk of a terrorist attack on Britain's nuclear power stations.

The Greenpeace projection comes at a time when the Government is conducting an Energy Review to decide whether or not a new generation of nuclear reactors should be built in the UK. Yet just last month Greenpeace released a dossier of expert evidence which outlined the vulnerability of the UK's current nuclear sites to terrorist attack. It details:

Greenpeace reaction to energy review

Reacting to this morning's launch of a new energy review, Greenpeace executive director Stephen Tindale said:

"It's now clear that Ministers are asking the wrong questions. Instead of asking how Britain can make its energy system more efficient, this review is only looking at what kind of fuel we use to generate electricity.

"The UK has an electricity grid designed seventy years ago that wastes most of the fuel we put into it. What we need is an energy revolution, a grid that lets renewable schemes and energy efficiency measures meet their full potential.
