Mr. Andrew Duncan:

Some people from Communities for Responsible Engagement with Wind Energy, CREWE, which is a national body, were meant to attend today but unfortunately that has not been possible. Deputy Troy has asked if we were assured by the Minister's implementation of the strategic environmental assessment. We were very encouraged but CREWE is keen for this to be seen as a national issue rather than a midlands issue. Any matters arising from the midlands wind turbines are national rather than just restricted to that area. We would like a national moratorium, as it would be a cleaner solution, but we are encouraged by the Minister's instructions to large multinational developers that the projects will not proceed until after there is a strategic environmental assessment. The ideal scenario would have the strategic environmental assessment rolled out to encompass the country.
