Wales' Largest Solar Farm at Llanbadrig

So, lucky people of Cemaes - you now have planning for the largest Welsh Solar Farm on your doorstep, huge replacement wind turbines, a decommissioning nuclear power station and a second nuclear power station on it way.
Having also just missed out on routing for onshore cables from the Rhiannon Wind Farm and the Skerries Tidal Array and the associated transformer stations!
Having closed down the anti-knock and bromine plant Amlwch an LPG storage facility was suggested to feed gas to Lancashire. Former mining residues at are so toxic that  the areas have to be kept under water to prevent polluted dust blowing about.
Meanwhile, hotels and campsites have closed down as land is bought up around the development site, coastal footpaths diverted.
If only the natural beauty and AONB areas had as much weight and got as much support for tourism infrastructure to lead a more pleasant way of securing a long term future.
