People have been speaking of their concerns about a wind farm with 200m high turbines in the South Wales Valleys. Bute Energy is proposing an energy park called Twyn Hywel made up of 14, 200m high (to blade tip) turbines on the border between Caerphilly and Rhondda Cynon Taf. To put that into perspective, the […]
Nearby residents reported hearing loud noises from the site before the turbine was blown over on Monday morning. A huge 300ft wind turbine collapsed at a wind farm near Gilfach Goch.

Extensive agricultural lands and road networks, in combination with other factors, have reduced the wildlife in the UK to a point hardly seen elsewhere. While the UK has made some gains, natural landscapes have been so heavily […]
More Wind Turbines, More Habitat Harm, Loss Scientists (Krekel and Zerrahn, 2017 ) report that the installation of wind turbines near human populations “exerts significant negative external effects on residential well-being” and a “significant negative and sizable effect on life satisfaction” due to “unpleasant noise emissions” and “negative impacts on landscape aesthetics.” “We show that […]

Residents in a Welsh village are reportedly opposing plans for the Nant Mithil Energy Park, which includes the construction of 700ft-high wind turbines and a 60-mile stretch of pylons. The project, proposed by Bute Energy, aims to generate approximately 237MW of renewable energy. While some residents have been offered £5,000 compensation to mitigate the impact […]
A leading opponent of onshore windfarms by big developers believes she has identified an unanswerable argument to prove her case: the distinction between energy and power. Lorna Brazell, a retired lawyer who is now secretary of the Cambrian Mountains Society, has written an article for members of the body in which she spells out her […]
If the Statue of Liberty were to keel over this morning, odds are someone would notice. There’d be chunks of car-sized debris dotted with confused seagulls, squawking at the mess. The grim scene might find itself in silhouette, bracing a sea of flickering light created by thousands of Instagramming tourists. Now consider this accident replayed […]
The Llanbrynmair windfarm (between Llanbrynmair and Llanerfyl) has permission already for up to 25 turbines (around 125 metres high). As I understand it Vattenfall are planning for up to 18 turbines at 220 metres (Mynydd Lluest y Graig). Bute Energy want up to 25 turbines up to 220 metres tall (Llyn Lort). All these windfarms […]
