It is only fair and democratic that the people who put up with the grief of pylons and turbines share of the benefits.

Merthyr Tydfil was the richest place in that world in terms of mineral wealth but you would never know if you went there. Even today the mine firms have cut and run and left a mess.

The Senedd has been promoting green energy and net zero but is not seeing the cash. There is the fracking question and trapped methane in the old coal mines.

The richest? What, richer than Russia or the DRC? Richer than the USA, Canada or Saudi?

Wales was raped for it's mineral wealth but that is history now.

What is fair hardly ever happens.

You don't even need to go abroad, the mining towns of Nottinghamshire are comparable as a like for like. Then there is the copper towns of Cornwall. We won't even mention offshore wealth of the North Sea. If he keeps posting bollux he keeps getting ignored.

Yeah the industry owners creamed off the profits from that. Some things never change. But then without that industry coming here and creating jobs Wales would have a population of about 400,000. The towns and cities and communities we know simply wouldn’t exist.

So true, Lord Merthyr W.T. Lewis made an absolute fortune, but mine owners were getting very rich a long time before him, he just grouped them together and made it all more professional.
