Life is about choices. In order to tackle climate change we are faced with difficult choices. Cover the countryside with wind turbines and solar panels, some say as much as 50% of the UK would be required, or approve a small number of small sites for nuclear generation. I find the RSPB's attitude on this point rather baffling. Yes there will be a local impact at the Sizewell C site but surely this dwarfed by the impact of covering the land with photovoltaic panels? Add in that with renewables we are baking in the need for fossil fuels forever, primarily gas, this approach seems to be rather odd to say the least.

Well I’m glad I’m 71 but for younger relatives there won’t be a planet. Also I see you’re a new member of this forum. First thread and a controversial subject! I wonder!
