I am concerned about the effect of this proposal on the fragile and valued environment of the East Suffolk coast, including the permanent effect on coastal erosion. It seems to me the economic impact of this continuing erosion has not been costed into the submission. I also believe that the case for nuclear power is not made. The technology for making the nuclear waste safe has not yet been developed and so it has to be stored for future generations to deal with. This means that the cost of doing this is unknown and therefore uncosted: it is not zero. I believe there are ongoing problems with the safety and security of nuclear power in general and Sizewell C in particular. I would prefer the huge amount of money that goes into research and development of nuclear power be directed to energy saving measures and 'green' technologies. What is needed is a ring main around the UK into which the various wind and other coastal technologies can feed.
