But CPRW said the Welsh government's strategy is out of date because it does not include potential for offshore wind farms, which the group said would generate more electricity than the onshore projects.Ross Evans of the Campaign for the Protection of Rural Wales says ground-based projects must be paused for a focus on offshore wind
Nant Mithil would have 36 wind turbines, each 220m tall, producing enough electricity according to Bute to power 200,000 homes, while saving about 350,000 tonnes of CO2 each year. "We're not against renewable energy," said group spokeswoman Jenny Chryss. "But we say there are much better ways - offshore, hydrogen, the floating platforms in the Celtic Sea.Signs against the Nant Mithil wind farm appeared at the Royal Welsh Show in July- the UK's independent advisory body - said in June Wales was falling behind on efforts to cut emissions, and "action on decarbonisation in Wales must accelerate".
