Green MP opposes 100-mile corridor of wind farm pylons in his Suffolk constituency

Adrian Ramsay, the party's co-leader, will go against the Government's net zero plans.

The joint leader of the Green Party is planning to oppose net zero plans backed by the Labour Government to build pylons in Suffolk to transport offshore wind power.

Adrian Ramsay, one of the party's four newly elected MPs, has said that he will seek a pause to the plans to build a 100-mile corridor of pylons stretching through his constituency of Waveney Valley.

The plans, which are currently under consultation by National Grid, will bring power from wind farms off the coast of East Anglia, and stretch from Norwich to Tilbury.

A spokesman for the Green Party said that the Government had "tried to force through one option" and Mr Ramsay was "focused on securing a proper options assessment to ensure that the alternatives are properly considered, including an offshore grid".

The new Labour Government has a target for the electricity grid to be run from 100 per cent green sources by 2030, and will set out plans in its first days to lift the ban on onshore wind farms, and encourage community backing for local renewable projects.

I fail, totally, to understand this moron.

How does he think offshore power is going to be distributed & even with an offshore grid the power still has to be distributed once it's onshore.

The cost of underground distribution is prohibitively expensive & will never happen, unless consumers are willing to a standing charge of £10 a day.

I thought it was clear that he is a Green. How could you possibly expect to understand him 

That said maybe he just wants it routed through somebody else's constituency.

But fair play to him for torpedoing that Green's philosophy.
