WILLIAM O’Brien (Letters, November 19) rubbishes my promotion of investment in renewable energy.
My claims about securing the future are, he says, “ideological nonsense”.
Interestingly, I was not the only person in that edition of the Western Telegraph advocating investment in sustainable energy.
On page 3 we had PCC director of development Stephen Jones saying, “Pembrokeshire must move away from an over reliance on carbonbased energy if it is to tackle the ‘generational task’ of building a stronger local economy”.
And on page 68, under Business and Finance, Graham Morgan, director of the South Wales Chamber of Commerce, reviewed “The renewable energy projects being proposed in West Wales, and the subsequent opportunities available to local businesses.”
How encouraging, to find local government and local business experts strongly agreeing with Pembrokeshire Friends Of The Earth about the benefits of investing in renewable technologies.
Hopefully, someone will soon take the initiative to promote a combined solar PV and wind power development on the perimeter of the old Murco refinery, for which it is ideally suited: it is a brownfield site with an excellent electricity grid connection, it has no close neighbours, and surely the addition of benign electricity generating plant could only improve the appearance of its industrial landscape.
