Nuclear power is not environmentally friendly. Apart from the vast destruction and pollution that will take place over the years of building Sizewell C, the technology is flawed in that there is still not the means to dispose of the large quantity of radio active waste which results from nuclear power. Along with the existing changes to climate through years of environmental negligence, future generations will have the clean-up of radio active material to contend with. There should be enough energy in nature (wind, sun and tide) to provide all our need cleanly. If not, we should adjust our consumption to balance our use of nature with real sustainability. Sizewell C is not the answer. Excuses such as providing local population and businesses with work was promised when they built Sizewell B. The vast majority of contracts went to non-local businesses and workers. Sizewell C will be the same.
