Thom Yorke has hit out at the UK government's decision to approve 10 sites in England and Wales for nuclear power stations to be built.

Yesterday, Energy Secretary Ed Milliband claimed that nuclear energy was a “proven and reliable” energy source and that planning permission on the 10 sites would be decided “within the year”.

Writing on Radiohead's Dead Air Space, Thom Yorke posted an almost poetic response to Labour's controversial decision under the title 'nuclear power no thanks'.

He wrote:

under pressure from the CBI
and under the confused assumption that we can carry on consuming power as we do now into the future
and too afraid to think out of their own isolated political fuzzy cloud
the british government is commiting to build a new round of nuclear power stations
for which we dont have the money.
great.
just perfect.
well done fellas.
you've really thought about this haven't you?

Beneath the text, Thom has also posted a link to the Greenpeace and Friends of the Earth websites.
