Consultations start today at Bryn Community Centre 2-7pm to discuss the UK's tallest turbines being built less than a mile away from people's homes. We would appreciate a RT from our elected Senedd members. Diolch @DavidReesMS @AltafHussainSWW @Sioned_W

How it started
Thank you to everyone who attended our first Senedd protest. A great success we spoke with four AM's and had a great turnout considering the short notice and covid restrictions, more details to follow

Y Bryn Windfarm has been REFUSED!! Diolch to everyone who has campaigned. 'The refusal of the proposal prevents harm to the local landscape and the setting of designated heritage assets and prevents the loss for future generations.'

Anti windfarm campaigners against Y Bryn concerned to see Maesteg golf club celebrate a deal with developers before Pedw makes official announcement. More corruption?

Size of the Wenvoe transmitter if you're more south Wales based. 250 meters high less than a mile from people's homes!
These are some of the people who face having 18 'London Shard' sized structures built near their homes shorturl.at/egEgO

Can @WelshGovernment @Bute_Energy answer my questions The image is the steel reinforcement for the base of an average 300ft wind turbine. It will be filled with thousands of tons of cement It will be left in the ground when the turbine is taken away to landfill - perhaps by Vaughan the Bung's mate! The bases for the 820ft turbines planned for Wales by various foreign companies will be much, much bigger Seeing as turbines are on hills, have archaeologists been involved? For Wales must have hundreds of lost hillforts, and much else in spots untouched for centuries The thousands of turbines built and planned on Welsh hills means that a vast acreage of rain-absorbing land will be lost. Has anyone calculated how much flooding will result? Explain how all this is 'good for the environment' Seeing as no jobs are created; while locals have their lives ruined, their properties devalued, their health affected, how are wind turbines 'good for Wales'?

The one site in Wales is Mostyn docks, as close to England as you can get. Turbines are shipped in, and a few assembled Otherwise, everything that goes into the turbines wrecking Wales comes from outside of Wales, and all the profits go to the turbines' foreign owners

Something I've mentioned more than once is the problems we're going to have in removing obsolete wind turbines Doing some research just now I came across an example I'd almost forgotten. Hendy Wind Farm erected a single turbine, which was never connected up, and should have been dismantled almost 3 years ago @PowysCC doesn't seem interested in pursuing the matter, nor is @NatResWales or, of course, @WelshGovernment This was the wind farm for which Anna McMorrin was lobbying, in April 2017, when she worked for Invicta Public Affairs. Ms McMorrin is now campaigning to retain her Cardiff North seat for Labour An early example of @WelshLabour doing its best to help foreign companies destroy our countryside as they rip us off But perhaps I'm being unfair, there may be a cunning plan at work here. When the companies that erected and owned the turbines can no longer be traced, and we can't afford to dismantle them, perhaps they'll become tourist attractions Can't you see see it, folks - guided parties to the sites of rusting wind turbines, the guide shouting to be heard above the grinding of the slowly-moving blades and the creaking of the unstable towers . . . 'Behold! The Net Zero follies for which we sacrificed some of our loveliest countryside - but don't get too close, they could come crashing down at any minute' cprw.org.uk/powerless-and-po…

To explain . . . So-called @WelshGovernment cancelled infrastructure projects like the bypasses in Llandeilo and Llanbedr This statement is about making it easier for foreign companies like Parabola @Bute_Energy to come here and rip us off To produce energy for England

Massive, 820ft wind turbines are planned for Y Bryn, between Port Talbot and Maesteg by Irish company Coriolis coriolis-energy.com/ 'Local' wind warriors @AwelAmanTawe are urging people to support this latest foreign rip-off with their handy cut and paste letters of support - just sign! Also supporting the rip-off, and the actions of AAT, is Senedd Member @JennyRathbone. Who is a shareholder in AAT Rathbone's partner, John Uden, does a non-job created for him by @Bute_Energy, which wants to cover Wales in wind farms and pylons Wales was always going to be corrupt because of @WelshLabour but the Net Zero agenda has increased ten-fold the opportunities for corruption

Relevant local authorities' Local Impact Reports cite significant negative impacts of this proposed development, Bridgend notes 32 conditions. Local authorities do not have the resources to enforce them, 'conditional' approval becomes 'unconditional', death of democracy.

These developments scar landscapes and communities across Cymru, to the detriment of its people - and all to increase the profit margins of external developes. Money and energy flowing from Cymru once again. Cofiwch Dryweryn?
