1.
Please could you explore if some money has
exchanged hands in regard to the planned pylon scheme for the black stairs
mountains? This idea has only been presented to the public at very short
notice, to render objections difficult to establish, in time to be effective. I
know this is true because, when I went on line, there was a very long standing
and high profile opposition in place, to putting wind turbines along the
mountains. There was nothing about the pylons. http://www.blackstairsconservationconcern.com
2. Please don’t believe that, just because there isn’t the
same number of expert articles spelling out the absurdity and flaws to the pylon
plan, that people somehow agree. The truth is that the wind energy technology
companies were not wealthy enough to push through their project and the
ludicrous environmentally destructive fossil fuel, oil and fracking crisis
companies are. Do not let greed and corruption waltz unchecked through Ireland.
I know this letter will go to political
figureheads who can assess the situation appropriately. Please do it.
3. The very same objections apply to the pylons and probably
double-fold:
It is not cost effective
Generates no energy
Wildlife threatened
Natural habitat
Unique land forms
Conservation area
Tourist attraction ruined
Achieves no objective what so ever as there is already
electricity delivered to the south east of Ireland.
It can only serve and perpetuate the monopoly that a few
very greedy organizations have on power distribution.
4. EirGrid wrote back to acknowledge my last note. They said
there is a ‘feasible 1km wide corridor’ being discussed up until the 26th
November. I am not sure why they are already describing it as feasible.
Feasible financially, I’m sure, as that cost will swiftly be passed on to the
customer.
5. Make sure that whatever decisions made now will sustain
the environment and encourage independence for Ireland. We can generate our own
electricity – zero point energy technology is available now. Wind and water
turbines have an epic unlimited source too. Do not dismiss them for their
limitations. Invest in them and allow them to be successful rather than us all be
rail roaded by a few wealthy organizations.
6. Please suggest that electricity lines are UNDERGROUNDED.
Ie buried underground.
Electricity pylons create two sorts of electro magnetic
stress; electrical and magnetic fields. To reduce the impact on a household,
people would need to put a mesh in their windows to disperse the electrical
field! There is no metal barrier strong enough to protect against the health
threatening magnetic fields.
Furthermore, high electric cables attract all sorts of
airborne pollutants – for example any pesticides, other field sprays, traffic
and factory smoke are drawn to them and then come down in the rain or are wind
borne, as they go along. And Yes! It is
linked to cancer and lots of other childhood learning and developmental
problems.
We need some strength, integrity and purpose. This
should include energy that is not destroying the environment, banks that are
not the only people to get paid back and everyone else held desperate. Get your vision in place please and do not let
corruption or misuse of power decide what happens next. If the pylons are
allowed it is greedy on the behalf of some and pathetic and lazy on the behalf
of others. Everyone needs to use their power and abilities to the good. No more
victims of circumstance. Some of my friends have their chains ready if they
need to take a stand on the mountains.
Please put a stop to the pylon idea at the negotiation of phase
one. Please!
Best regards, Frances
