We welcome a RE Think to the approach in Wales to renewable energy. Avoid the use of large scale On Shore Energy Parks in unspoilt areas of natural beauty.

"The countryside should not be viewed as an empty canvas on which to achieve everyone’s aims." Absolutely 💯. Food security, biodiversity, health benefits all being thrown under the bus in the rush for development. countrylife.co.uk/countryside/na…

You have ties to Bute too @Plaid_Cymru? Life peer Carmen Smith previously worked for the company. She now has an advisory for its parent company, Windward Global. nation.cymru/news/plaid-cym… You are also rumoured to have attended a meeting with Bute behind closed doors. True?

"While there is no suggestion of wrongdoing by Bute, or indeed that it boasts improper links to China, the company has built extraordinarily intimate ties to Labour, and in particular Welsh Labour". dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1… #WelshLabour #ButeEnergy

The report referred to: renewableuk.com/cymru/industry… Surely you have better ambitions for Wales than energy-hungry, deregulated AI zones that will lead to temporary jobs locally, create redundancies more widely, and require you to sell parts of the country down the river? 2/2

No reply! How about these questions @Plaid_Cymru @cefincampbell: Do you agree with an industry report that electricity demand will double or even triple by 2050? If so, is this because two DEREGULATORY AI Growth Zones will need as much energy as Cardiff?! 1/2

@Plaid_Cymru @RhunapIorwerth @sera_plaid If the Inspector examining Bute Energy's proposal to construct a massive wind farm in Radnor Forest recommends refusal, would you respect that? Or would your drive to make Wales a "powerhouse" mean that you'd be willing to sacrifice this precious place? @cefincampbell

A recent research demonstrates that birdwatching can literally rewire the human brain through neuroplasticity, producing measurable structural and functional changes that enhance perception, attention, and cognitive performance—potentially even helping to buffer against age-related decline. While birdwatching has long been celebrated for its calming, restorative qualities, emerging neuroscientific findings reveal it delivers far deeper benefits. A 2026 study used diffusion-weighted and functional MRI to compare the brains of 29 expert birdwatchers (ages 24–75) with 29 matched novices (ages 22–79). Experts showed greater tissue density—indicating more compact, efficient neural organization—in regions tied to attention, perception, working memory, spatial awareness, and object recognition. These structural adaptations enabled experts to identify birds, including unfamiliar or non-local species, with significantly higher speed and accuracy. During identification tasks, experts displayed increased activity in key areas such as the bilateral prefrontal cortex, bilateral intraparietal sulcus, and right occipitotemporal cortex—regions critical for visuospatial attention, object categorization, and memory. This mirrors brain remodeling observed in other expertise domains, like multilingualism or professional musicianship, where prolonged practice fine-tunes visual and auditory processing. By repeatedly attending to subtle cues in plumage, songs, flight patterns, and behavior, birdwatchers drive cortical reorganization. Notably, these expertise-linked changes persisted across the adult lifespan, with older experts exhibiting brain features in relevant regions more akin to those of younger individuals—suggesting the development of cognitive reserve that may protect against aging effects. [Wing, E. A., et al. (2026). The tuned cortex: Convergent expertise-related structural and functional remodeling across the adult lifespan. Journal of Neuroscience. Advance online publication. DOI: 10.1523/JNEUROSCI.1307-25.2026]

@EuropeanPowell Which is one of the reasons that we have to sacrifice Mid Wales to industrialisation? Huge complexes of renewables, miles of pylons, new roads and all the destruction this will involve. All so we can keep on feeding greed by consuming finite resources. Climate justice it ain't.
