Dear Editor

Rebecca Evans MS recently reported in the Senedd that Wales has a development pipeline of 18 GW installed capacity of offshore wind and 5 GW of onshore wind

The National Energy Systems Operator in their latest report shows that Wales can generate enough electricity to reach net zero with 10 GW offshore wind

What Rebecca Evans MS is indirectly saying then is that all of the highly unpopular onshore wind warms in Wales, with turbines up to 250 m high, will not benefit Wales in any way.

We will destroy our landscapes, cut down our trees, kill our raptors, dig up our peat, disturb our tranquility and industrialise our countryside for what?

Offshore wind is all Wales needs to reach net zero
