We need this atomic station as renewables won’t do enough.

[@janepearson2450]

Mr beardy has probably been retired yrs ,on a good pension so does not give a toss about those of us that arnt

[@martinmason6234]

Totally agree with you

[@thomaswykes3647]

Coastal Suffolk is infested with wealthy ex-London NIMBYs who cook electric and drive an EV

[@michaeljames1468]

I heard this live.....what I picked on.....they've been saying for years the lights will go out in winter but they never do. I'm guessing that Brian Blesserd here, is the same guy who shouts "Climate emergency we only have 30 minutes to live"

[@iareid8255]

Michael, our national grid is slowly but surely getting less reliable by the year, with less and less spare capacity to call up when it's forecast that the available power will be insufficient. Grid power outages are quite complex but once it goes beyond a certain point it will cascade to a total failure. When, it's impossible to predict as so many variable factors are involved. Renewables are not the answer, and it's lunatic to build more when it's well known now just how bad they are. You'll never read or hear that in the media because they do not understand the subject. One type of generator is the same as another they think, well that's just not true, renewables are inferior. Incidentally summer is the more likely time for a large scale grid failure as much plant is shut down for maintenance.

[@marktucker208]

How does this guy expect us to generate enough electricity??

[@manoo422]

If you cut him in half it would say 'NIMBY'....

[@andynjw1163]

He's moaning because it's probably near his house.

[@nickbutler7935]

The truth is he does not want it on his doorstep. From the looks of it he won't be going cold and hungry.

[@shaungilmartin1505]

Nimby boomers don't about basic state pensioners and the poor freezing to death

[@paulslater9061]

What rubbish that guy talks

[@michaelwhite8031]

FRACKING !!!!!!

[@Avidcomp]

If this guy is worried about the weapons industry, then why isn't he campaigning for Thorium LFTR ?

[@jimrichards3916]

What is more important, a bird or a frog or some lesser spotted yellow tailed newt or millions of people in the UK suffering possible black outs, energy rationing or being cold in winter each and every Winter for years to come. And don't get me started on friggin Wind Turbines. What a waste of money and good land!!!!

[@gerrycooper56]

Finland is building a new nuclear power station yet they aren’t a nuclear power

[@roberthirst5571]

Sorry but we need this otherwise we are in serious trouble I understand this guy's concern but does he want everyone to suffer think mate it is survival for us certainly not gonna live in a cave eating cold raw pigeons and eat grass we need this not starving to death and freezing thanks captain ahab take care everyone Nigel stay safe my friend keep doing what you're doing 👍

[@stuartwood5448]

A few birds or humans - Human flourishing should also takes president

[@susanpotter9720]

Just move then...

[@alanmarpole8138]

Turn his metre off and give him an insight of having no electric.

[@gedhuffadine1873]

Fracking!,,,

[@gxhall]

The technology to be used is not that clever, it needs reviewing The environmental costs of the wind turbines are always ignored by these people - turbine blades kill thousands of birds every year on top of which the cabling from the turbines causes lots of problems for sea life

[@Codysdab]

I'm kind of against it and I'm pro nuclear power, I think we should have small modular reactors outside every town and city, that is far far more efficient than one huge reactor that loses so much energy on transmission.

[@andrewwhite1065]

Totally agree.... and I believe it's possible to construct a small modular reactor each year.

[@Codysdab]

@@andrewwhite1065 ideally they'd just be sealed and containerised and you just need to hook them up to services at the installation location. Innovation needs to really kick off with nuclear, remove its stigma.

[@newyorker641]

Big reactors are easier to control in terms of where radioactive materials are used and distributed. Europe definitely needs more nuclear power.

[@Codysdab]

@@newyorker641 France is nuclear central, but the UK and the rest of Europe have seriously lagged behind.

[@newyorker641]

@@Codysdab France has done quite well. Take a proven concept (Westinghouse PWR) and adapt it to your own needs. Standardize everything around it to make it economical feasible. Most French NPPs went online between 1979 and 1994. That's roughly 15 years, the 1.5 GW units Chooz B and Civeaux followed later. With less money and time France has achieved an around 8 to 10 times better result regarding CO2eq/kWh compared to Germany, where I am from. Other highly negative side effects like lacking inertia/spinning reserve, no important short circuit power from inverter powered devices and staggering redispatch numbers are unknown in the French grid. The system costs of nuclear power are by far the lowest if hydro is not possible. The soceity had to learn that comparing feed-in tariffs from volatile sources with low capacity factors like pv and wind can not be compared with dispatchable nuclear generation.

[@MrBahjatt]

Sizewell C is an amazing project that the UK needs. UK should just build another 10 EPRs besides the two at Hinkley Point C for a total of 14 EPRs for the next 80-120 years.

[@StevenArnott77]

Make it happen for our own country energy..there’s always these rich cronies trying to stop thing that we need for our own survival.the reason it’s ruining the countryside.we built the city’s on rock an roll,so go with the flow😂😊

[@66sandymurf49]

the greens want all energy to come from the 🌞we Can never be CARBON FREE?

[@mathewmawn8426]

We are reigniting egborough power station and a few others.

[@TheBrigadier1977]

Anyone who objects at the building of sizewell c or Hinkley C should be disconnected from the national grid. If they refuse to allow the building of power stations, then they shouldn't get to benefit from its output. This guy doesn't even sound local, he is probably a retiree from London who just doesn't want it in his backyard and doesn't care about the local area and jobs it will bring.

[@perseus431]

We need many more nuclear plants. Nuclear is the least bad option.

[@johncorlett3699]

maybe they should put 10,000 ugly wind turbines there instead, really chop the birds to bits?

[@springer3783]

Once this is built i hope he will voluntarily exist without any power which it will provide

[@theoutlier9053]

These activists are finally being exposed for the pie in the sky loonies they are. Birds over humans. Insanity

[@roseviebalmer903]

stand up with me and fight these morons hard, before they destroy western civilization. no point talking to dumb?

[@paulslater9061]

It's not possible to do that

[@colinhooper6621]

What is so wrong with Rolls Royce nuclear generators. We’d have British made generators sited near the point of use, national security because we wouldn’t be reliant on a few generator sites and it’s required power distribution infrastructure, the costs and profits would stay in Britain and they’d be easily exchangeable

[@lifesign123]

It costs the same in carbon to build the thing than will it save, we can build small modular ones that are fail safe.

[@michaelmiller5387]

If you come onto a program to protest at least know what you are talking about! No matter what is suggested or proposed to solve our energy crisis there will be those who oppose it for some reason or another. The government should just pick and option and just build it! Any opposition will soon become silent once they have cheap energy at their fingertips, If not ,before long we will be living like stone age heating and cooking on camp fires.

[@MrBranyace]

nuclear isnt carbon free? huh? im like 99.99% sure it is

[@newyorker641]

According to the IPCC it is even better than pv and wind since way less raw materials per MW installed are used.
