Dear Sir,
OPPOSITION TO NEW WIND TURBINES & PYLONS IN POWYS.
My wife & I live at an isolated small-holding some 8 miles south of Newtown surrounded by beautiful hills & valleys; it is very peaceful here at present.
There are proposals for 2 new windfarms which, if they get planning consent WILL SURROUND US ON 3 SIDES-the sites will be some 500m.from our home .The remaining side will have pylons carrying the electricity (if the wind blows !)to a hub. We are very concerned for,inter alia ,the following reasons:-
These turbines are less then 23% efficient on average and are costing the British electricity consumer billions of pounds for a false ideology that purports that wind farms are 'green'. They are not and there is substantive evidence available to prove this. You have the power to help stop this madness-please exercise your power!.
Yours sincerely
Michael A. Halsey Claudi Halsey
