The question is prompted by concerns over O [1D [K Oliver Millican's company Bute Energy building a series of energy parks tha [3D [K that could impact military training bases, farmers' land access, and the lo [2D [K local tourist industry.
Since coming to power, time and again this Govern [6D [K Government have failed to stand up for Welsh interests. Nowhere has that be [2D [K been more obvious than in mid-Wales, where Oliver Millican and his company [K Bute Energy would like to build a series of energy parks that encircle our [K military training bases, impede our farmers' access to their land and do gr [2D [K great damage to our local tourist industry. Will the Secretary of State tak [3D [K take the opportunity to tell Oliver and Bute Energy that they are not welco [5D [K welcome in Wales, because we are fed up of being exploited?
The simple fact is that those who oppose the buildi [6D [K building of renewable energy infrastructure risk blocking investment and jo [2D [K job creation, while at the same time making their constituents' bills more [K expensive. Upgrading and expanding the electricity network is not optional; [9D [K optional; it is a national imperative and we cannot afford to delay.
