The European Commission are charged with the task of (hopefully) categorising the lavish subsidies heaped upon the prospective Hinkley C as State Aid and therefore illegal.
To encourage them in this crucial but thankless task, there is a petition whih I have just signed.
People can also write individual letters, I have the guy's address somewhere, prob in the Nuke section here.

The fight goes on...Austria, Germany, Dale Vince and a chap called Paul Dorfman are all considering a legal challenge, on the grounds that in their haste to do the deed before retiring, the outgoing Commissioners have misinterpreted te law on State Aid.

Last rites for Hinkley C
Very good article from Jonathan Porritt.
Very good article from Jonathan Porritt.
Over the last few months, details have been trickling out about the retaliatory measures UK Ministers are now threatening in a demonstration of state bullying that beggars belief. A leaked memo showed UK ministers asserting that "the UK will take every opportunity to sue or damage Austria in the future."
