Hesitant but probable Green voter here. Your policy on nuclear energy is a little brief:

EN261 We will cancel construction of new nuclear stations and nuclear power will not be eligible for government subsidy; the Green Party opposes all nuclear power generation and is particularly opposed to the construction of new nuclear power stations, electricity from which is likely to be significantly more expensive per unit supplied than other low-carbon energy sources, and too slow to deploy to meet our pressing energy needs. Cancellation will avoid the costs and dangers of nuclear energy and waste being passed on to future generations long after any benefits have been exhausted.

EN262 Money earmarked for new nuclear plant research, development and construction will be reallocated to energy efficiency measures and renewable energy infrastructure, but sufficient funding for decommissioning redundant power stations, and for research into the safe storage or disposal of existing radioactive waste stockpiles will be retained.

Has the Green Party published any more detailed documents on this point that go into specifics (both for the reasoning behind avoiding nuclear, and the proposed alternative)? What's your take personally?

Best of luck in the election. If you get in, don't be Nick Clegg. :)

Thanks for your reply. Gotta love the confidence of total strangers in labeling you at a glance. Hope you gave him an earful :)

Given your experience interacting with protestors, what is your take on the events in Ferguson last year, broadly speaking, and the police response?
