Now doesn't this beat Plaid Cymru blathering and Pathetic fb Fringe Funnies, sure it does so let all radical Socialists, Republicans and Nationalists unite in one great effort to at long last make a stand against Old and New Conquistadores. BEAUFORT BUNCH OUT AND WINDMILL MASTERS TAKE AN HIKE OUT OF CYMRU - CAMPAIGN AGAINST CHEQUE BOOK CONQUEST OF OUR MOUNTAINS BY CORPORATE CAPITALIST COLONISERS - FIGHT NOT FLIGHT!!!
UP FOR DISCUSSION AND DELIBERATION - ALL CONTRIBUTIONS WELCOME.
BASIS OF MANIFESTO OF
TOTAL RESISTENCE TO THE WINDMILLING OF WALES
Contributed by Myrone Evans.
Proposed Mynydd y Gwair Windmill Farm.
There is 90% local opposition to this revolting destruction of
Mynydd y Gwair, which is in Mawr. I have opposed this illegal destruction for
nearly twenty years. The development was initially thrown out by the remote and
ineffective Swansea Councils almost unanimously, but they turned coat and caved
in after what many thought was bribery. The local A. M.'s and M. P.'s oppose the
development, so Swansea Council must be overturned by higher authority. The
Councils should be challenged legally in High Court. Subsidies for wind
turbines are being dropped, so not only will Mynydd y Gwair be ruined by a
mindless foreign aristocrat, just for greed and money, but as soon as
subsidies run out it will become inoperable junk. It is already clear that
Betws is a disaster, it generates very little power. EPAW found that the EEC
when it comes to wind turbines is a corrupt dictatorship. So what is at stake
here is democracy and freedom. Beaufort's
estates in Wales
should be eliminated by being nationalized. Sian Ifan and I started a
petition for a Welsh Land Act. I call for total, complete, comprehensive and
permanent opposition to both Mynydd y Gwair and Betws. It is clear to all that
Betws is hideously ugly, so the whole area will be destroyed completely. I call
for trade Union Action and continuous strike action against turbines, and I
call for civil disobedience, refusal to pay huge electricity bills and so
forth, or pay them very late. Mawr should never have been governed by Swansea, which has caused
Mawr immense damage.
I have advocated all out resistance to
wind turbines for twenty years. One of the most effective forms of resistance
is civil disobedience, refusal to pay council tax and electricity bills,
another is Trade Union action, another is legal action, another is nationalization of the Somerset Trust.
It is an absentee landlord
that has always been interested in Wales purely for the money it can
get out of poor people.
In view of the ninety percent opposition to
Mynydd y Gwair Wind Farm, and in view of collapse of representational government by
Swansea Councils, I call for an immediate local referendum on both Mynydd y
Gwair and Betws with the aim of stopping Mynydd y Gwair and demolishing Betws
at developer expense. The People is Supreme Authority. Very soon, all turbine
subsidies on land in Britain
will be dropped. So when the subsidies run out, Betws and Mynydd y Gwair will
become bankrupt, desolate, rotating, junk, especially if the entire
population of Gower refuses to pay electricity bills and Council tax.
Turbines
are a colonizing insult to modern democracy in Wales, and the entire country
should rise in protest as one Nation.
INFORMATION ON THE WINDMILL SCAM
This is found by googling "intermittent wind turbines",
sixth site, www.finiteworld.com.
The entire wind / solar idea is dismissed out of hand in this site for ten main
reasons.
1) Wind / solar does not reduce CO2 emissions, and it is now
accepted that CO2 does not produce global warming, so the entire strategy is
false.
2) Wind / solar will not change the problem of oil scarcity, they
produce only electricity.
3) Their cost is prohibitive, and when subsidies end, the entire
industry will implode.
4) Wind turbines may last for only twelve years, and cannot be
repaired easily. So Betws and Mynydd y Gwair will become junk yards very
shortly after thy are built, at enormous cost and in the face of bitter
hatred. They ruin and destroy democracy, they insult the People.
5) On 2012 wind still produced only 1% of the world's energy
needs, solar only 0.2%, after almost half a century of development at insane
cost.
6) Wind and solar produce a tremendous amount of pollution
during manufacture, because they use rare earths which are poisonous. So
they are not clean at all. In fact much dirtier than coal.
7) Wind / solar makes the grid less long lived, and of course,
highly unstable.
8) They make the economy less sound, in some case they bankrupt
economies.
9) They result in inadequate capital investment into real
economies that do not need subsidies.
10) Wind / solar was never a viable economy because it
deliberately increased energy costs.
On top of this, subsidies will shortly be stopped for all wind
turbines on shore in the countries of Britain, then they will become
useless junk. Scotland's
economy will be completely ruined, as well as its landscape, because of its
stupid obsession with wind turbines. Furthermore, tidal and hydro power is
adequate for all the world's needs. On top of that low energy nuclear reactors
(LENR) are poised for market. Energy from space-time is already being used
by Fortune Fifty companies. On top of that we are sitting on millions of tons
of best quality coal in Wales,
which can be used safely and wisely with in fact very little pollution. The
coal will not be burned very much, but used to manufacture petrochemicals
and polymers. A little will be used for domestic fires. Some will be used
for stable and advanced power stations.
So our unelected political "leaders" are out of their
minds, they have been deluded by pseudoscience.
LDP Update 2014
LDP Preferred Strategy
Consultation on
the Draft LDP Preferred Strategy concluded on 31st October 2013. More than 650 representations
were submitted to the Council during the consultation, including comments
relating to the supporting Background/Topic Papers.
The Planning
Policy Team has been reviewing all of the representations received and
finalising the Preferred Strategy document, which will be presented to Council
Members this Spring. The Final version of the Preferred Strategy will serve as
the agreed strategic framework that will underpin the Deposit LDP , which is
anticipated for publication in 2015.
Supporting Assessments
The Planning
Policy Team is also progressing with a number of studies which will provide
essential background information to the LDP .
Open Space
Assessment
An assessment of
open space provision across the County has recently been undertaken. The
outputs from the Open Space Assessment will directly inform the LDP process by
identifying wards with deficiencies of open space. In such areas
provision will be increased in association with development proposals and
throughout the County existing open spaces will be retained and improved where
possible.
In order to
ensure that all available open space provision has been accounted for the
Council would welcome feedback from communities on its accuracy.
Individual Ward maps highlighting actual provision and an open space typology
can be viewed via: www.swansea.gov.uk/ldposa.
Strategic Transport Assessment
The Council intends to commission a
County wide transport assessment of the key strategic development proposals
identified in the draft LDP Preferred Strategy. This assessment will be
an important element in demonstrating the soundness of the LDP , particularly
in respect of quantifying the impact of its strategic proposals upon the
transport network and demonstrating the sustainability of identified sites.
The strategic transport assessment will
require traffic modelling and associated highway junction analysis in order to
measure the impact of development scenarios and test potential mitigation
measures. The Council intends to fund this commission by means of
contributions from site proposers where development of such sites is considered
likely to have a wider than local impact.
The Council welcomes expressions of
interest from site promoters to part contribute to the financial cost of
undertaking the commission. It is in the interest of site promoters, as well as
the Council, to produce clear evidence that the LDP proposals will allow for the
effective and efficient operation of the transport network and address existing
traffic problems. It is also vital that LDP proposals are shown to accord with
the overriding principles of sustainability and that evidence demonstrates the
proposed sites will be highly accessible by modes other than the private car.
It is important to note that the
commission will be arranged and managed by the Council alone without influence
by other parties, irrespective of financial contributions. In addition, any
contributions to the financial cost of the commission would be made without
prejudice to the Council’s ultimate decision on whether to include any
particular site within the LDP at Deposit stage.
Candidate Site Assessment
On 1st March 2012 the Authority reported that
almost 400 Candidate Sites had passed through to Stage 2 of the Assessment
Process which involves the detailed assessment of sites against the Candidate
Site Assessment Methodology (available to view via: http://www.swansea.gov.uk/ldpcandidatesites).
Over the past few months officers have been carrying out site visits and
gathering the evidence required to complete the site assessments. The
Authority has also been liaising with site promoters to identify those sites
with the potential to deliver the emerging LDP strategic objectives and in some
cases to discuss the extension or reduction of site boundaries.
It should be noted
that Stage 2 also involves the consideration of additional sites, which were
not put forward as Candidate Sites, which the Council considers may be suitable
for inclusion in the LDP. These sites may be either privately or council
owned sites.
Details of those
sites which have not progressed through the Stage 2 of the assessment process
will be reported to Committee during Spring/Summer 2014.
Stage 3 of the
Process will begin once the Preferred Strategy has been finalised. This
is an important stage which will filter out those sites which though available
and deliverable are not of a scale or location which is compatible with the
Plan’s Preferred Strategy for growth.
Once Stages 2 and
3 are complete, all sites which the Authority is considering for inclusion in
the Deposit LDP will be publicised. This will give opportunity to comment
on any new sites identified or any amendments to existing Candidate Sites
proposed.
The Deposit LDP
will provide a formal and final opportunity to comment on the sites.
