Group feeling good after grant boost<\/a>\n<\/p>\n\n They will be the biggest on land in the world \u2014 some will be 820 feet \u2014 and have massive concrete bases.\n<\/p>\n
\n They\u2019ll be surrounded by miles and miles of gravel tracks and concrete and tarmac roads.\n<\/p>\n
\n Therefore, the huge catchment areas of the Severn and Wye and their large tributaries, such as the Teme, Avon and Vyrnwy, will see non-absorbent concrete and tarmac replacing highly-absorbent peat, forestry, moorland and grassland.\n<\/p>\n
\n If that is not a recipe for dangerous, rapid flash-flooding on a huge scale, I don\u2019t know what is.\n<\/p>\n
\n People living downstream on the Severn in places such as Welshpool, Shrewsbury, Ironbridge, Bridgnorth, Stourport, Tewkesbury, Worcester and Gloucester should really be on the alert.\n<\/p>\n
\n So should people on the Wye in places like Ross and Hereford.\n<\/p>\n
\n May I suggest that they all write to their newspapers, councillors and MPs plus the Welsh government to protest vehemently against this likely dangerous flash-flooding?\n<\/p>\n
\n These horrendous wind farms need to be stopped altogether.\n<\/p>\n
\n The yo-yo UK wind energy graph for 2024 on gridwatch.co.uk proves beyond doubt that intermittent wind energy has no hope at all of powering the UK.\n<\/p>\n
\n So why install these extremely ugly, potentially dangerous giant wind farms?\n<\/p>\n
\n Protest letters galore from England to leading Welsh newspapers, like the Western Mail and South Wales Echo, would also help.\n<\/p>\n
