The UK is facing even bigger problems as a result of the rapid growth in population that is occurring through population movements.<BR/><BR/>I would, with a heavy heart, accept on shore wind farms if they produced significant ammounts of cost effective energy. And I would like to maintain my previous antipathy in respect of nuclear power, except that I fear a desperate and dangerous rush to nuclear when the lights go out - which they inevitably will. the current debate about all this is too late. Our Government has failed to grasp the issue of energy supply in time.Glyn Davieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17344589217554138315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34112832.post-69242872103976359672007-10-27T10:18:00.000+01:002007-10-27T10:18:00.000+01:00really no one can win on this can they.

Yet, you seem to have found more than enough time to post threads about other subjects including much regarding Rugby.<BR/><BR/>Care to comment?<BR/><BR/>Your pal.<BR/><BR/>johnny.johnny foreignerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08700634762731441268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34112832.post-60798263813816817302007-10-26T13:32:00.000+01:002007-10-26T13:32:00.000+01:00Sanddef - I do not believe it is sensible to adopt...Sanddef - I do not believe it is sensible to adopt a policy of Welsh energy for Wales. This is another area where I do not think discrete areas within Britain are sensible. Its the same argument as elective neurological treatment for North Wales patients, and disposal of hazardous waste, including nuclear waste and many other things.<BR/><BR/>Mountjoy - In general I agree with you. The position in Wales is much worse than in England because of the prescriptive nature of TAN 8. Over the next few months there will be a rush of wind farm applications that Planning Authorities dare not refuse. I'm told that Powys alone has about 15 current or imminent applications.Glyn Davieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17344589217554138315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34112832.post-6148228569122916362007-10-26T11:57:00.000+01:002007-10-26T11:57:00.000+01:00Although I am very worried about nuclear power (wa...Although I am very worried about nuclear power (waste etc), I have watched in disgust as wind farms have been built in rural areas - against the wishes of local people - and destroying some beautiful landscapes.

Is the energy produced by Wylfa and Dinorwig exclusively for Wales? Somehow I doubt it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
