Hinkley Handout is 'truly absurd' says Caroline

Caroline has slammed the Government after George Osborne announced a £2bn cash boost for Hinkley nuclear power station. 

She said:

"It is truly absurd that this Government plans to plough £2bn more of taxpayers' money into this vastly overpriced project.

"Nuclear power is extremely expensive and slow to come online. Additionally no sustainable solution had been found to solve the serious waste problem.

"This announcement is completely perverse when the Government is cutting support for cleaner, cheaper alternatives like solar and onshore wind. Instead of wasting taxpayers money on this costly white elephant the Government should urgently invest in clean, renewable alternatives that can come online far more quickly and cheaply."
