"Last week, Labour voted against Plaid Cymru's motion calling for all new power lines to be placed underground
It's clear that Labour just don't get rural communities
Let's send Labour a message - sign the petition here:

This time last year I called for the 132Kv line proposed by @ButeEnergyWales to be undergrounded. W.Gov policy = underground. Todays demo by ATP demonstrates that Bute are behind in the technology & global responsibility. Excavator cleaned up behind. #nopylons

An interesting morning in Llanybydder with an exhibition of burying electric cables underground by ATP Cable Ploughing company from Pencader.
The technology is already being used in Europe - and I have no doubt efforts should be made to use it here in Wales instead of pylons.

Should be entitled “In defence of dinosaurs” 🦕
Cable ploughing, underground HVDC, reconductoring, using existing disused infrastructure and coordinating offshore are all superior options. But hey, let’s obsess about the technology of yesteryear!
Though much maligned as countryside spoilers, including by famous authors, new transmission towers are vital as energy demand increases, @lararhiannonw writes trib.al/ckbKquc

In which I say: “We're fully supportive of the need for a grid upgrade, but what's got to happen is it's got to be done in the best way possible and it's got to bring communities along with it"

Well done Sarah Eyles on calling out Bute energy /Green Gen. We have seen this issues raised by members of the public time and time again at every consultation. Great piece @ShiptonMartin

CPRW met @ATPCablePlough to hear about the work they are doing around the world undergrounding electric (and other) cables. We invite @WGClimateChange to visit and find out how it is cheaper, more efficient and better for nature to bury power lines 🚜⚡️ 👀youtube.com/@atpcableplough4…

Article describes how a large stretch of mid Wales countryside, including a large part of the beautiful Towy Valley, will be marred by a 60 mile stretch of 27m high pylons. Objections are being raised by groups along the route.

Pylon corridor would cause ‘visual damage’, campaigners say

Tourists were most satisfied with the quality of the natural environment (83%). We wonder how they will feel after huge swathes of it is covered in pylons and huge wind turbines?? #updateFutureWales2040 now!

No pylons in the Tywi Valley GreenGen Cymru!
@IoloWilliams2 Proposals by GreenGen Cymru to build a corridor of pylons through the Tywi Valley is nothing but an act of destruction in one of Wales' most iconic landscapes, full of natural beauty and historic significance. Please help spread the word adamprice.wales/no_to_dyffry…

So unfair. Money spent to remove pylons elsewhere while proposing hundreds of them in beautiful East Anglia
