Protestors block the road leading into Hinkley Point
This morning, as the Energy Bill was making headlines, ten people were setting up a non-violent blockade of Hinkley Point nuclear power station. It's a sure sign that building new reactors will be an uphill struggle.
The cost of dealing with the UK's nuclear waste has risen by almost a billion pounds in just 12 months. It's yet another reason why we shouldn't build any new nuclear reactors.

The future of the UK's energy supply - and our ability to hold back climate change emissions in Britain - is hanging in the balance. Nick Clegg and the Lib Dems must intervene to protect the Climate Change Act from George Osborne and his mates in the gas lobby.
