"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.
Beautiful gardens and steeped in Towy Valley history. Shame @GreenGENCymru want to place pylons within its views.

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"

Low sun on roads, a nightmare for riding, at this time of year.
According to the British Horse Society, 66 horses were killed (and 96 injured) in road accidents last year - the highest rate since 2018. The figures are shocking and show the importance of raising awareness and understanding about safety on country roads.
