Letter: Wind turbine plans are impending tragedy for Powys
As a Welshman, despite living just across the border in England, I am horrified at the proposals to build the latest large wind turbines across the remaining areas of the Cambrian Mountains.
Clearly the Welsh landscape means nothing to the politicians in Westminster and Cardiff; once it's gone it will be gone for ever, to the last syllable of recorded time.
And are there similar plans for the Pennines and the Lake District?
Already Wales has too many wind turbines (misleadingly called 'wind farms' or 'energy parks'), but those are small compared to the monsters now being proposed, in many cases by foreign companies.
Yet again Wales is being exploited, not for the first time over the centuries.
May I plead with all Welsh people, old and young, man and woman, to call upon their MPs, Assembly Members, local councillors and all people of influence and none, to wake up to this impending tragedy.
