I’ve just heard tonight on Newsnight on BBC 2 this evening and that the UK Government  wants 25% of UK energy power to be provided by Nuclear Power Stations! What will that mean for the possible Nuclear Power Station being built next to Minsmere! Also what is the latest situation about trying to stop a Nuclear Power Station being built next to Minsmere? I’ve heard nothing from the RSPB or from any organisation for a few months! What is happening right now to try to stop this legally.? It’s gone all very quiet from both sides of the argument at the present time! Can you tell me and others concerned about this urgent matter on what is the latest situation about this’?

    Thanks for raising this Ian.

    Although the Government has today described an increased role and accelerated development for nuclear power in the provision of domestic energy, and made mention of Sizewell C, it is important to understand that the new facility at Sizewell is still awaiting the green light from Government. This is not yet a “done deal”.

    We believe the development still has much work to do to prove that it will not be disastrous for wildlife on the Suffolk coast and at the RSPB’s flagship nature reserve at Minsmere. Therefore, we continue to maintain that that the current Sizewell C project is not appropriate at this location
