A statement issued yesterday by the Department of
Energy and Climate Change said: “The Secretary of State has granted development
consent for the Brechfa West Windfarm" to an overseas company RWE.
Anti-wind farm campaigner Caroline Evans,
coordinator of Brechfa Forest Energy Action Group, said: “This is a very flawed
judgement by the Secretary of State.
“He has chosen to ignore sound evidence of the
damage this giant development will inflict on the mountain and the community.
“This is a major disappointment for the many who
worked tirelessly, spending time and money they could ill afford to fight to
protect the country they love.”
The Government was warned of the serious
consequences of such an undemocratic decision by Jonathan Edwards the Local
Plaid Cymru MP in Parliament last week.
This Con Dem Government has to be counted amongst
the deaf, unable to listen and learn.
This decision is an insult to democracy, to
the people of Brechfa, to the people of Carmarthenshire and to the
Country of Wales.
This Con Dem Government has seen fit to insult the people of Wales
seeing them has being unfit to make decisions about their own country and its
resources by this action.
The People of Brechfa stand for democracy against
undemocratic Corporate Power that has circumvented the opposition to its plans
in Wales, by getting London to impose its plans on the local Welsh people.
The people of Wales must support the good people of
Brechfa.
The battle for democracy in the Brechfa is a fight for
the whole of Wales.
This Con Dem Government that does not listen will
not last
