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. | | | |

You have not noticed but particularly with the wind farms planning permission on land are often only given if benefits do not go to local communities.
The Merthyr example is made because British project management has let them down. Open cast coal mining was allowed only if Escrow funds were provided by the developer for reinstatement. These funds were taken from profits.
Probable cute accounting we are all familiar with leave a £135m black hole due to a lack of administrative oversight.
You might not care but I do. | |

Well if you do really care you'd go and do something about it and put your name forward for councillor or an independent councillor and express your concerns and garner local support and speak for them, no good coming on a Football Forum spouting your displeasure get off your arse and be proactive! |  |

"You have not noticed but particularly with the wind farms planning permission on land are often only given if benefits do not go to local communities." As someone who has worked on a few wind Farms in Wales then I tell you you're wrong, as part of any planning consent communities can and do benefit which can be delivered in a wide range of forms,
including (but not limited to):
Direct financial support (such as Community Benefit Funds)
Opportunities such as community ownership, profit share, and shares ownership
Measures or initiatives to support the reduction of energy costs
The provision of new or improved local infrastructure
Sponsorship of organisations, sporting and cultural events
In-kind offers such as habitat management programmes
Enabling education or training opportunities | |

I do not understand why people get personal. It has nothing to do with me. This is a forum and I give my opinion and can challenge other opinions. My personal circumstances are not up for debate and none of your business.. | |
