Local concerns
Atlantic Array, RWE and the Russian connection
Opposition to Atlantic Array seems to be hardening, several organisations have contacted us in this last month. The political climate is changing. Green power is no longer to be created at any cost. Subsidies for on-shore wind power have already been cut in Scotland and we anticipate some changes in England and Wales. A cut in subsidy will frighten off many developers. We remind you that planning for all but the smallest wind farms resides in England, not at the Senedd.Atlantic Array developers, German power giant RWE, have withdrawn from the development of new nuclear plant at Oldbury, Gloucester and Wylfa B, Anglesey. They are reported to be suffering financial strains as a result of Germany’s decision to close all nuclear generation following the Fukushima disaster. They might not be in a position to continue with the expensive £5bn Bristol Channel project.
The existing Wylfa Reactor 2 shut a few days early on 25 April. It had run since 1971. The Russian nuclear operator Rosatom has been evaluating the site.

Greenfingers ‘The Flowers’ offers nematode worms to get rid of slugs, couldn’t happen to a nicer garden pest. You keep them in the fridge, that’s the worms not the slugs. I think that’s right, see page 8
