Opposition to Brechfa Forest wind development grows. 40 of the highest turbines in the UK set to ruin unique ecology and landscape. 40 Wind turbines measuring 145 metres, (475 feet) are proposed in an application by RWE npower, taking advantage of weak and non-existent standards in Wales. These applications would not have reached the drawing board in Scotland, because not only are individual houses within the exclusion zone the Scot’s enjoy, but complete village communities.
The Welsh Assembly Government who aspire to the degree of independence their Scottish counterparts possess, draw the line at extending equal citizens rights, with regard to this industrial development.
This same Welsh Assembly Government, as owners of the Forestry Commission land, are set to share the profits of subsidised electricity with RWE npower. An arrangement that wouldn’t look out of place in a Banana Republic.
We oppose this plan which will destroy a delicate landscape, ruin ecology and habitat, but equally importantly ravage tourism, the main hope for building the economy and jobs in Carmarthenshire.

GALAR launches “Aros a Meddwl” “Stop and Think” appeal
André Jacob, Chair of GALAR community group, along with other members, took the opportunity of being at the Senedd Protest to present Mr Rhodri Glyn Thomas with the Stop and Think appeal. Galar’s approach to the inadequacy of TAN8 is to put in place a set of standards, by which all onshore wind farms in Wales should comply, prior to any further tinkering with that very inadequate Technical Advice Note. Galar are asking that we stop further developer applications and think about the standards that would be fair to rural Wales.
Not many AM’s braved the harmonious wrath of the crowd, but in fact Mr. Thomas is on record in asking for fairer standards, in respect of wind turbines, and a great many of his constituents live under threat of developments with inadequate protection from the Coalition Government in Westminster and the Welsh Assembly Government in Cardiff Bay.
