00:06 That's a little toilet, just to give you an idea of the size.
00:12 The route that they are coming in from Pink Sight, I believe the road that they're making is 10 metres wide,
00:20 which is much bigger than our roads around the DMR.
00:23 I want to talk about the size of the turbines. We've heard how big they are, we've heard how big these proposals,
00:30 particularly from Bute and Galileo, are going to be 220 metres and 230 metres.
00:36 220 metres is probably double what a lot of turbines already are in the UK.
00:44 They are going to be very, very high, and I don't think people really realise exactly how high they're going to be.
00:49 We have no idea, really, of the impact of such enormous turbines in Wales, on our landscape.
00:58 And in reality, we doubt that the developers do either.
01:03 Will there be more noise or less noise? More ecological damage, or possibly less ecological damage?
01:09 There will definitely be larger concrete foundations, because even with my very poor science,
01:14 I know that the higher you go up, the deeper you have to go down.
01:19 Will there be more off-putting for tourists than you'd expect in turbines?
01:22 Or will there be more shadow flicker for local residents, or all the other problems that Tim has described?
01:28 We just don't know. And we also don't know what the impact will be of the delivery and the construction phase of such enormous turbines.
