  1. I do not believe that we need to build Sizewell C to ensure our future energy security - renewables can take care of that with appropriate investment in battery technology and other storage capacity. 2. Nuclear energy is far more expensive per energy unit than renewables such as wind and solar and will take much longer to build, with a huge carbon footprint during the construction phase. 3. Safety is always an issue for nuclear plants, despite the official assurances -the existing Sizewell nuclear installation has a long history of leaks, unplanned emergency closures and other 'near misses' that could easily have resulted in catastrophic damage and loss of life. 4. The area surrounding Sizewell is an area of outstanding natural beauty and the proposed installation will cause enormous damage to that especially during the construction phase.
