Please sign on and make a submission by the 5th of February and share this post widely.
We strongly believe there is NO place for this failed technology in our energy mix, for two key reasons. There’s NO need for more nuclear power in our energy system. It is unsafe, expensive and unnecessary. We don’t want the government to proceed, especially since there is enough evidence that renewable energy is cheaper and more environmentally-friendly.
We instead propose that this money is better spent to address electrification, community owned renewable energy, housing, social grants and now, procurement of the COVID-19 vaccine
