SIR — Re your report last week "Hinkley C: Reaction to the announcement", all bar one of those quoted are singularly for the project. There should have been a wider canvass.

If this scheme comes to fruition, I will be dead and buried before it lights one bulb, but our offspring will be paying the bill for generations.

Any funds available should be spent on the insulation of properties and renewable energy systems, with the work done by local workers trained locally. Then we will all see the benefit.
