Why does this matter? It matters because we are very alert to the challenges that we face with biodiversity in this country and around the world. We have a responsibility to do that when we consider the huge installations that are happening. Sizewell C will be built—I strongly support that; I support a lot of this development—but what is confusing to people in communities around the country is that we are prepared to trash sites of scientific interest and the like, while not being prepared to put energy infrastructure on brownfield sites closer to where the energy is needed. That is causing the frustration that people have.
