I am concerned about the following: - the safety of the site given coastal erosion and likely rises in sea levels given climate change - the location of such a major civil engineering project, both during and after construction, with its environmental impacts on a range of sites of special scientific, natural, ecological interest together - the impact of such a major civil engineering project on local social, health, education resources and transport infrastructure - the unfounded claims for economic benefit which do not consider the negative impacts on such things as local tourism - the length of time for the project to contribute to electricity generation and the relatively short lifespan of electricity generation, given the cost of construction, maintenance, waste storage and decommissioning which renders the project uneconomic - the amount of electricity generation required to off-set the 'carbon cost' of the project which invalidates the claims made for this project to contribute to the UK's reduction in carbon emissions I wish to endorse the representations made by the RSPB, Suffolk Wildlife Trust and local organisations such as Stop Sizewell C.
