The UK Government has announced it will be considering nuclear in a new review of our future energy needs.
Wales has two nuclear power stations. Trawsfynydd is closed and Wylfa is due to close in 2010. You can have your say in the consultation to ensure that Wales has a nuclear free energy future.
About nuclear
Friends of the Earth Cymru opposes nuclear power because it is unsafe and uneconomic.
Nuclear is unsafe because:
Trawsfynydd nuclear power station
Nuclear power is uneconomic because:
Protestors highlighting the thousands of years of a nuclear legacy
Did you know? Nuclear power contributes just 3.5% to the UK's total energy needs
Friends of the Earth Cymru belives the nuclear option should be avoided and we should invest in energy efficiency and renewable energy.
Nuclear power must be rejected as unsafe, uneconomic and unnecessary.
Pembrokeshire Friends of the Earth local group have initiated the Keep Wales Nuclear Free campaign.
The campaign has a new website - www.keepwalesnuclearfree.org.uk where you can take action against new nuclear power stations in Wales.
You can also download the petition here.
If you send your petition to Pembrokeshire Friends of the Earth it will be forwarded to Tony Blair at the end of the Energy Review consultation period in April.
