I make no excuse for including the next four news items on an anti-wind power web site because the hospital service in Wales will affect each and everyone of us at some time or other.
Knowing what we already do know about the catastrophic plans for the countryside, coming from the Cardiff Senedd Clowns in respect to wind power, it doesn't even bare thinking about of what they could do to the NHS in Wales when they have more independence from Westminster.

You and Yours This programme was broadcast on Monday 14th August and discussed the World's largest wind farm proposed for the Isle of Lewis, Scotland.
If for some reason the audio link will no longer work from the above "You and Yours" web site, it has worked well from the following web link....
You and Yours - altrnative web link(audio - web link) You will need to fast forward the audio to approximately 7:02 minutes into the programme and the wind farm discussion lasts until 17:44 minutes of the 54 minutes programme.
You will need the FREE BBC Radio Player software to listen.
N.B.This proramme is worth listening to if only to hear that a ballot comprising of 10,00 (ten thousand) written NO votes to the wind farms, and 17 (seventeen) YES votes was totally ignored by the Western Isles Council, who favour the installations.
If both of these web links should fail for some strange reason, a recording has been made of the broadcast, which can be made available on this web site at a later date.

Now we have a new breed of "Coal Master" making a fortune from the ill health that coal miners contracted while working in the mines to provide a living for their families and 'energy' for the UK.Ironically, thousands of chronically ill miners (and the familes of deceased miners) still wait and fight in vain for paltry compensation payments, while the likes of the 'new' Coal Master (mentioned above) make instant obscene fortunes from the suffering of those coal miners. It's enough to make one spit up some lumps of coal dust in disgust !

Many thanks to a Scarweather Sands campaigner for the link to the above web site, and for the following instructions and comments....
"It gives a map of all developments (operating and plannned).
You can ZOOM and move the map about with the mouse. You can search the database e.g. "Mynydd y" and it will list all developments starting with "Mynydd y".
Anyway, if you play around, you will soon get the hang of it.
There are other documents which may be of interest and links to other sites
Have a nice time with the new toy."
Kind regards,
"XXXXXX"
