I object to the building of Sizewell C on the following grounds- Since the erection of the current nuclear power stations on the site global warming and widespread coastal erosion on the Suffolk coast dictate that to build another one here would be sheer folly. Sizewell C would trash yet more beautiful and precious wildlife ecosystems supposedly protected by AONB, SSSI and SPA status. Compensatory habitat creation could not conceivably compensate for this. Nuclear energy is old hat and costly and leaves behind major issues with radioactive waste which will affect generations to come. Whole communities in the vicinity would be blighted by immense disruption for a generation. Most jobs created could be created elsewhere in the area in the expansion of renewable power generation which has to to be the way forward.
