The Gwent levels 20:38 - Jul 2 with 2449 views | SullutaCreturned | The Senedd wouldn't put a road across it for ecological reasons but it sems they aren't averse to all developments on that land, walesonline.co.uk/news/wales-news/this-irretrievably-damage-nationally-important-31974084?int_source=nba I understand the need for more renewable energy but we can't keep damaging habitats to get that sustainable electricity.. Who remembers Drakefirds stance at the time? Mr Drakeford's move to scrap the six-lane scheme follows a public inquiry overseen by planning inspector Bill Wadrup, who said the case for the road had been "compelling". Ministers had decided that, with austerity and Brexit in the background, the uncertainty of the financial position of the Welsh Government meant the project was too expensive. But Mark Drakeford said he would not have gone ahead even if it was affordable because of the impact on the Gwent Levels. Mr Cairns said: "It appears that the first minister thinks he knows better than the independent inquiry." These solar farm schemes could cover even more land than the motorway if they are all approved and once one is approved it sets a precedent. So what of the impact on the levels now Mark Drakeford? |  | | |  |
The Gwent levels on 14:56 - Jul 20 with 104 views | SullutaCreturned | I had the discussion with Scotia about this, if I remember correctly he said we have to sort out the climate change forst but I said protecting habitat was just as important. Then today I saw this, https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c30741j351go So the chase to protect the climate, going electric, it's already destroying habitat, killing off wetlands. We have to approach the whole thing holistically or we will just create even worse problems. |  | |  |
