Revoke Government support for large-scale new nuclear projects

Closed 3,104 signatures

What the petition asks

We petition the Government to revoke its support for large-scale nuclear power projects. They would be counter-productive to the UK's economic recovery, its climate targets and future national security.
Large nuclear projects are now too costly, however funded; too slow to construct, too fraught with technical obstacles and too controversial if run by overseas developers. Rather than contributing to a sustainable Green Recovery I worry they are draining funding, time and government attention from solutions that are much more deliverable and cost-effective.
