• CLM-0006 None of the five main studies mentions the international radio-frequency exposure limits, or any safety standard, or a restricted area around the receiving site.
• CLM-0178 The UK government's own summary of this study repeats the same headline figures as the underlying technical report: about 5 pence per kWh, a development cost of around 16 billion pounds, and an estimated 1.80 pounds of wider economic benefit for every pound spent.
