Lancaster & District Green Party

With all the talk about a possible new nuclear power station at Heysham South Lakeland Friends of the Earth has a “No New Nuclear Build” on-line Petition, signatories include Dr Stuart Parkinson - Director of Scientists for Global Responsibility,Tim Farron MP and Green MEP Caroline Lucas.

Full text of the Petition
To: Prime Minister of the UK

We petition the Prime Minister of the UK to the effect that
we do not want any new Nuclear Power Stations, because nuclear power:

* facilitates proliferation of nuclear weapons worldwide and endangers our security
* amasses vast amounts of waste, which remains lethal for 100,000s years
* has an exorbitant cost and is not carbon free
* will not provide the answer to climate change
* has left a lethal legacy of tens of thousands abandoned uranium mines on the land of indigenous people worldwide
