Sizewell Blockade December 2007

Eight protesters blocked the road to Sizewell A and B nuclear power plants for over 2 and a half hours. This is the reasons why.

lets go wind power then, you guys can pay for it seeing as your so keen being against nuclear. I'm all for renewable power but it isn't efficient enough to supply demand, and by the way uranium 238 doesn't just blow up.

Current nuclear plants are just over 1% efficient at converting the energy in Uranium to electricity. There are many studies that show how renewables can supply the energy we need (see Scientific American Nov 09)

By the way we would not be as stupid as to say that U238 would just blow up since it is not fissile (it is the U235 which is). Although prompt critical accident is possible (despite the designed negative void coefficient) I do not think many opponents see this as the greatest danger.

I think that was my dads car behind that van down the road... And guess what? My dad was desperate to get into work in 2007 but had to come back because of you protesters, stupid b*tches... I laughed when one of the workers called you a bunch of w*nkers because you are... And because of you and the protesters my dad had lost a lot of money because he weren't at work when he was supposed to be that day! So thanks a lot you unkind bastard, you were clearly stuck up your own arse

How is your dads job doing now? Is Sizewell actually going to re-open or is it shut for good. Why should the tax payer spend billions on subsidising the nuclear industry - clearing up the old waste will cost us at least £76billion. Shouldn't this money be spent on more sustainable jobs?

Why the hatred against me? It appears we are on the same side.

[plunk502]

I think a more accurate figure is 2.4% of the worlds energy supply at most.

[LukeXgamer]

So it supplys 60% of the worlds energy so shut the fuck up and stop wasting workers time and let them get to work. And Phil, go fuck your cunt mother.
