There was plenty of wind here yesterday and still today. Made the trip through the roadworks blighting the area around Sizewell C all the more galling. We need wind and solar power not bloody nuclear stations built on an unstable coastline.

D'oh! Pyke blames #Homer for nuclear's failings. Reality is Sizewell C is EDF's flawed EPR design that's already doubled in cost- to be built on one of Europe's fastest eroding coasts in UK's most drought prone region- a financial & environmental disaster!

It's good to see Suffolk locals determined to save these 100+ year old oaks, along the B1125 Westleton Rd. All earmarked for the chop as part of Sizewell C's wanton destruction of vast swathes of the East Suffolk countryside. Enough is enough!

Subsidies are largely for operation too rather than capital spend on building. Difficult to unravel, but this subsidy suggests a very high electricity price for the years when it becomes operational.
