National Grid Electricity Transmission (NGET) are using the presence of one pylon line to justify a second.  It is well known that the Secretary of State is discussing the possibility of further reactors at Wylfa in addition to Wylfa Newydd.  If there is no change in Government policy, and none are planned, a second row will be used to justify and third and fourth line.  It is time for a 21st century solution.
Pylons will be detrimental to views of unspoilt countryside, particularly views from within, and views of, the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The landscape and views with wide skies are particularl to Anglesey and are highly valued by residents and tourists. Pylons will cause a negative visual impact which will deter tourist. More importantly residents will have to tolerate this for generations to come.

There is a huge amount of scientific research into the health effects of pylons, and there are quite different views, a bit like the research into tobacco in the 1950’s and 60’s. There are serious concerns, and conflicting views, about the health impacts on people and farm animals.  Better to be safe than sorry and not use pylons.

The Wales “Wellbeing of Future Generations Act” 2015 requires environment and health issues to take priority for the protection of future generations. Pylons are a poor legacy for future generations.
Other technology exists, like underground and subsea, which does not have the negative effects of pylons.
