Thank goodness for the wise decision of Pembrokeshire County Council (letters 4th April) in not approving the placing of two wind generators on the northern slopes of Frenni Fawr, near Crymych; indeed it would have truly been a bad day for common sense if permission had been granted, and the planning inspector has to be congratulated – three cheers. During these times of austerity Wales badly needs to protect its tourism industry and any action that detracts from this must be condemned – the only people to prosper from the deployment of large wind generators are selfish landowners and greedy wind developers who grow rich at our expense in the form of government subsidies – one reason why energy bills are going through the roof!
It surely is the duty of every Welsh adult to protect the ‘Land of our Fathers’ for future generations, and not to allow an exploitive minority to desecrate our beautiful countryside with ineffective, industrialising and expensive wind generators.
