Stop Sizewell C! Wrong Project, Wrong Time, Wrong Place.
EDF’s plans to build two new nuclear reactors at Sizewell in east Suffolk will have a devastating impact on this unique and magical place and is too slow and expensive compared to alternatives in the fight against Climate Change. The decision whether or not to give Sizewell C planning consent is due on 8 July.

How can we stop Sizewell C?
- Money! If no one will invest, it cannot go ahead. You can help by writing to pension funds or other potential investors.
- Politics. If Sizewell C, or the tax needed to finance it, is unpopular, Ministers will listen. Sign our Petition with Together Against Sizewell C at www.stopsizewellcpetition.com or write to The Rt Hon Kwasi Kwarteng MP: enquiries@beis.gov.uk, Dear Secretary of State.
- Planning. They are so many holes in EDF’s plans and the impacts outweigh the benefits, so it could be refused consent. Respond to the Secretary of State’s invitation to send comments by 23 May 2022. The planning decision is expected on 8 July 2022.

East Anglia's precious historic landscapes and beautiful countryside are at risk from this proposal to build 180km of 50-metre high pylons between Norwich and Tilbury. This is not the right way to do things. There needs to be a government strategy for an offshore grid.
"It is testament to the sheer incompetence of EDF that #HinkleyC has become Britain’s most radioactive construction project and it hasn’t even been built yet" writes Ben Marlow
And yet, incredibly, EDF harbours ambitions to build another plant in the UK, at #SizewellC in Suffolk.

EDF’s latest Hinkley Point delay shows PM’s nuclear ambitions are divorced from reality
Alistair Osborne writes: "Critics seized on the latest overruns to point out the risks to Boris Johnson’s blueprint for another 24 gigawatts of new nuclear power by 2050. The Stop Sizewell C lobby group pointed out that, while EDF and CGN are on the hook for Hinkley’s “rocketing costs”, a proposed new financing model would see consumers paying upfront via higher bills for cost overruns. “The £20 billion estimate for Sizewell C is already two years out of date, with zero chance of it being delivered at that cost,” it said, noting that the risk of spiralling costs would “fall on consumers”.
Doug Parr, Greenpeace’s UK policy director, said: “The government’s big bet on nuclear is backfiring with every extra billion added to the bill”. He advocated investment in offshore wind instead.

The risks to the government’s plans to build another eight nuclear power plants have been underlined by the latest wave of ballooning costs and delays at Hinkle
.@StopSizewellC said #HinkleyC's "rocketing costs should send investors considering #SizewellC running for the hills. #EDF once again has to suck up this price hike but Sizewell C's will fall on consumers. Sizewell C is risky, expensive and in no-one's interest except EDF's"

Whereas the Government has agreed that if/when this happens at Sizewell the taxpayer and domestic consumer will pick up the bill. Not EDF. @StopSizewellC https://t.co/s1OtXgD69r
