The proposed site is desperately poor for the natural environment and people alike, but for campaigners the lack of alternative, less damaging, options is one of the main weaknesses of the proposals.

National Grid had reportedly explored a Sizewell to Sellindge link but ruled it out, while apparently the pylons at Dungeness were not robust enough to deal with the added load. Either way, the lack of shared data from National Grid has frustrated campaigners.
