“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.
"Unfair and undemocratic – Anglesey and
Wales are self-sufficient in energy.  The pylons will serve mainly to export power to the south east of England, against the wishes of Anglesey people and all levels of democratic representation."
Wales is unique in having a Wellbeing of Future Generations Act, and while NGET are not bound by this law, Isle of Anglesey County Council is, and more pylons may leave the authority open to legal challenge.  Pylons are a poor legacy for future generations.
Other technology exists, like underground and subsea, which does not have the negative effects of pylons.”
