The German government had the good sense to abandon its nuclear power programme.
A referendum showing 94% of voters opposed to new nuclear power has forced the Italian government to abandon its plans.
But unfortunately our own government is not so sensible.
Over 1500 of you emailed Energy Secretary Chris Huhne after he said Fukushima 'casts a shadow over the renaissance of the nuclear industry' but he says he remains 'reassured' by what he claims is the UK's 'strong safety record' and remains committed to new nuclear power stations.
It is vital therefore that we build the movement against new nuclear power and so we are jointly organising a non-violent blockade of Hinkley Point nuclear power station in Somerset on 3rd October.
Please join us there. Stay up to date with the blockade plans at Stop New Nuclear.
