It will be terrible value, that's certain, I'm not anti nuclear but our governments approach to procurement and coherent energy policy is terrible.
Also Minismere has the most biodiverse 1x1km anywhere in the UK, so let's stick a building site next door for a decade in an environmental collapse and one of the most ecologically depleted countries in the world
Probably be scrapped by autumn, Rishi won't borrow to pay for it and Truss won't have any tax revenue after all her cuts to pay for it

My Mum and Dad live in Aldeburgh so I'm in Minsmere on the regular. Sizewell beach and Sizewell belts ( the bit between the facility and Minsmere) is fantastic too. Crawling with snakes and lizards as well as incredible bird life. I bumped into a seal on my morning run last week.
I read some stuff about how much piss taking EDF did with Sizewell B and the local lizard and bat populations a few weeks ago. It made my blood boil. At very least I'd want to see punitive fines for that sort of stuff rather than a few grand here and there.

Sizewell C approved.
Even if you are pro-nuclear it is hard to see how its a good deal for the UK taxpayer to pay the French state £20bn (partly through rises in energy bills for a decade) in return for a nuclear power station that will generate expensive power with no price caps for the consumer.
And then there are the concerns about the damage to the environment on the rather special site, and the fact that very few nuclear energy experts seem to think that the decomissioning costs of the project have satisfactorily been taken into account. This has BIG RED WARNING SIGNALS all over it.
