I am writing to express my opinion in regard to your Draft Development Plan and in particular to your Wind Energy Development Strategy.
In my Pre Draft submission I spoke of the negative impact that a Wind Energy Facility would have on my local area i.e. the village of Tullaghought in South Kilkenny and the surrounding hills of Kilmacoliver, Blackbog, Baunreagh, Windgap and Frankfort.
Strategic Aim: To promote and facilitate all forms of renewable energies and improvements in energy efficiencies as a response to climate change.
10.1 Introduction
Renewable energy sources are defined here as inexhaustible natural resources whichoccur naturally and repeatedly in the environment. These sources include the wind, oceans, plant life and falling water.
