URGENT: Lobby your MP to vote against the Nuclear Energy (Finance) Bill – vote is Monday 10th January
Posted: 6th January 2022
Bad for fuel poverty, bad for climate action
The government is trying to force through controversial new legislation which will make consumers bankroll the nuclear power industry, whilst giving them no protection from spiralling costs. This will force thousands more families into fuel poverty.
The electricity generated from nuclear power is double the costs of renewables. Nuclear is hampered by generic design flaws, long delays and safety risks. It’s dangerous to people and planet. To meet Britain’s 2050 net zero goals, instead of forcing consumers to bankroll a failed industry, the government should be investing more in renewables.
CND has sent this briefing to MPs outlining key arguments against the Bill.
Please can you contact your MP today, urging them to vote against the Bill on Monday 10th January.
