Comment on 450ft Wind Turbines Coming to Llanbrynmair by Stan

Your views are shortsighted Martyn. The cost to the landscape is dire for the benefit they give, relative to alternatives. They should be out at sea. 9 new offshore wind farms have been given the go ahead with a total max of 25GW, that’s 2778MW each. Makes the “130-195mw” of Carnedd Wen look rather pathetic considering it blights the landscape for miles around. To put it another way, you need 14-21 Carnedd Wen’s to equal one of the aforementioned new offshore farms. As a local, Carnedd Wen is actually more like 10,000 acres. I’ve no idea where they got 2,000 acres from. The forest alone is 6,000 acres the vast majority of which is being felled for the turbines. But even taking the official figure of 2,000 acres, you would need 28,000 – 42,000 acres to equal one offshore wind farm.

Comment on Changes to Llandinam Windfarm by AldE

There is arguably a fourth group who benefits. That is humanity as a whole. The solution is complex, but wind farms are definitely part of it. Powering down is also part of it, and this part is also being addressed.

We can argue endlessly about it, but at the moment wind turbines are some of the best tools we have towards combating our “oil age” problem of excess.

Comment on Weatherman Walking-New Series by caroline

I found your radio walking programme on Iplayer and enjoyed listening to you describing the view of the distant Somerset Coast. Lovely to hear as we often go to Burnham, we don’t live to far from there, and look in your direction. Your coastline looks diferent each time. When it’s misty, everything loks slightly magnified (when it shows through), but usually it is covered in a golden or pink sunset…beautiful! I wonder if Somerset looks so good in the evening light…
I am enjoying listening
Thank you

Comment on Walkers warned over cow dangers by powyswalker

This would amount to thousands if not millions of miles of new fencing, this would spoil the countryside and cost hundreds of thousands.

I think it is up to individuals to be better prepared and educated.

Is it too much to ask that landowners take steps to protect walkers? A simple fence along a footpath would negate any danger from livestock.
