Owning our Power is the key to security
Owning our power is the key to our energy security. Owning the means to produce our energy means that we can never be held ransom by anyone person or country.
Video #5 is all about energy security. Should we be selling our energy production to foreign countries? OR, in a rapidly changing world should we be owning our electricity generation systems?
Owning our power and the means of production is security
Will buying back all UK energy production and energy grids help us remain independent of other countries? Can public ownership of our energy services give us the power to chose renewable energy?
Cameron selling out to French and Chinese nuclear is NOT owning our power
David Cameron recently initiated a proposal to build a new nuclear power plant at Hinkley in Somerset. The funding for building this new plant will come from the Chinese. British citizens will provide the tax money to underwrite this boondoggle. EDF is supposed to build and operate this new nuclear plant.
The Chinese and EDF had to be bribed with promises of twice the current rate of payment for nuclear electricity. We currently pay £45 per Megawatt hour. the EDF and the Chinese investors will get £92.50 per Megawatt hour.
UK and Europe are opposed to nuclear power.
Fortunately there are many people in the UK and in Europe that disagree with this proposal. In the UK we have many groups and organizations working to end any thoughts about building new nuclear plants.
There were 1750 accidents, mishaps or leaks at UK nuclear plants between 2002-2009.
Here is just one good reason why. 1750! This is no random number. This is the number of accidents mishaps and leaks at UK nuclear power plants from 2002-2009.
The scale of safety problems inside Britain’s nuclear power stations has been revealed for the first time in a secret report obtained by the Observer that shows more than 1,750 leaks, breakdowns or other “events” over the past seven years.
British public will underwrite 16bil plant construction cost. Energy security or indentured servitude?
The European Union in Brussels is questioning the UK government promise to underwrite the £16bil. cost of the new plant at Hinkley.
This is not energy security. this is an energy crisis that will lead to greater insecurity of our means of generating electricity.
Write to your representative and tell them how you feel
Write to you MP now!. Tell them to stop being stupid and start building the renewable energy future we need today.
