Friends of the Earth Cardiff Cyfeillion y Ddaear Caerdydd

The Big Six energy companies have got us hooked on dirty fossil fuels and make huge profits from a stitched-up system.

Friends of the Earth want the Government to launch a public inquiry into energy prices.

With the Big Six's soaring profits in the headlines we have a fantastic chance to fix our broken energy system.

EDF Energy are expected to announce huge profits today as their energy bills soar.

They are one of the worst offenders for choking support for clean energy - calling for lower renewable energy targets whilst making mega bucks from nuclear.

EDF Energy has 20 percent of the UK energy market. In the UK EDF Energy owns seven nuclear power stations, two coal-fired power stations, and two gas-fired stations.

Things EDF Energy don't want you to know:

Waste company Viridor has announced plans to build a massive incinerator in Cardiff Bay to dispose of our rubbish.

If built, it would:

• be capable of burning three times as much rubbish as Cardiff sends to landfill sites every year
• take waste from across south Wales
• discourage more efforts to increase recycling and composting
