The series where the public can make programmes under their own editorial control.

'I just felt there was no power in the people anymore ... that power was vested in big business and people who never thought about the effects of their acts on the future.'
There is much disillusionment about democratic processes when local opposition is over-ruled by decisions deemed to be in the national interest, as happened following the long public inquiry on the Sizewell 'B' nuclear reactor.
Once again the 'Stop Sizewell 'C" campaign is having to demand a public inquiry to argue the case against the building of pressurised water reactors in Suffolk.
This programme looks at the effects of nuclear expansion on local communities in Suffolk and Somerset, and assesses its implications for a nation now going green.
