While appreciating the need 'to keep the lights on', I think Sizewell C will do disproportionate damage to the nature, ecology and culture of coastal Suffolk, not just in the development of the actual site, but also in the transport and enormous footprint of associated accommodation. There must be a better way, at least using brownfield land, and preferably greener architecture in the broadest sense. It seems likely, looking to the future, near and far, that the technology of the 2020s will be superseded by Rolls Royce nuclear pods, improved solar and wind power, and possibly use of the waves themselves. In addition, coastal erosion and rising sea levels may make Sizewell a kind of concrete island. The natural and working landscapes will be irreparably maimed, for what is likely to be a white elephant in the countryside.
