As a resident of a nearby town I am extremely concerned for my personal safety in the event of a nuclear accident. As an environmentalist I am even more concerned for the local habitats of wildlife already grossly under pressure. The area will never return to its natural state and you can’t transplant habitats. The constant light has already driven away many species that used to live in the area. As a taxpayer I don’t see how building another nuclear power station can ever make economic sense. The money has to go into renewables which can come on stream much faster than sizewell can. Other nuclear projects have been abandoned because the cost has become untenable so should this one.
