Government backing for Sizewell C plan comes under fire
Focus on equal access to assisted death rather than risks of legalisation for oppressed groups wrongheaded, MPs and campaigners say
GREEN groups have condemned the government’s decision to back the “astronomically expensive” Sizewell C nuclear plant.
Business Secretary Grant Shapps, who visited the site in Suffolk on Tuesday, has pledged to invest £700 million of public funding in the power plant, adding the site would generate 10,000 new jobs.
The plant is a joint endeavour with French energy giant EDF and is expected to take a decade to build at the cost of between £20-£30 billion.
