The Bradworthy Wind Turbines

Big Green Votes For Europe Bus Tour

By Ricky Knight

This is a rallying-call for all supporters and activist. Arriving in North Devon, for one day only, a double decker with an exceptional pedigree and perfect green credentials. This is the bus that took members of the Human Shield to Baghdad to try and stop the Iraq War. It’s driven by the same driver, environmentalist and peace activist Joe Letts, who is putting his heart and soul (and livelihood!) into the SW GP European Election campaign by driving it all around the south west region to raise awareness of the elections and the whole profile of the Greens in the SW. It looks a bit different now, having undergone a splendid re-fit – the photo gives some idea, but seeing is believing, as I did a few weeks ago in Salisbury, towards the beginning of the tour. It’s a sensation! It even runs on Bio-diesel from recycled chip oil – not a good idea to travel behind it if you’re hungry.

Well, you’ll get the opportunity to see it up close and personal too now, as it arrives in North Devon on Saturday, 29th May. The itinerary is a little bit uncertain, as it is a long way from Cornwall, but the intentions are good – Bideford Quay from about 10.00 a.m., then on to Barnstaple for the afternoon, from about 1.00 p.m. til shopping frenzy quietens down around 4.00. At which point, it’s all aboard for a Magical Mystery Tour to destination unknown – a gridlock near you (Croyde?) was suggested. Eventually, the bus will return to Tapeley Park in Instow, by kind permission of Hector Christie and by invitation of member Ian Godfrey, who runs the Health and Harmony week-ends. An idyllic overnight for the bus before it heads off for Exeter in the morning. Talking of parking, there shouldn’t be a problem in Barnstaple – all Joe will have to do is arrive there and there’ll be free parking in the traffic queues.

On board, apart from Joe and candidates from the list, will be Lyana Armstrong-Emery, the Reform Party candidate from Gibraltar, who has made political history by becoming the only Gibralterian on any parties’ list. She’s coming over to join in the campaign and is really looking forward to meeting us – she’ll be staying with member Anne Rix. Is anyone up to entertaining the bus-crew on Saturday evening – bit of food, place to kip?

This is a perfect opportunity for the North Devon Green Party, friends and supporters to support a visually unique event. You absolutely MUST take time off your usual mundane drudgery that day and get yourselves to Bideford and/or Barnstaple (at least!) and spend a couple of hours (at least!) doing some minimalist or maximalist public relations. We need to hear from you and we’ll confirm with you times and position. There is so much we can do – read on!

Michael Eavis urges Labour voters to support the Green Party

By Bill Hunter

"Disillusioned labour voters can send a clear message of protest to Tony Blair about this immoral and horrific war in Iraq by voting Green in the European Elections on June 10"

said Michael Eavis Labour Party member, former Labour General Election candidate (in Wells Const.) and Glastonbury Festival Supremo as he opened the Glastonbury Green Fair on the stage at Glastonbury Town Hall this morning. Michael also handed over a substantial cheque as a campaign contribution to David Taylor the South West Green Partys No 1 candidate on the Green List for the European Elections on June 10.

Michael Eavis said ”perhaps the G on my sweatshirt now stands not only for Glastonbury and Grandad but also in this election Green” and said he’d known David Taylor through the Festival for many years and “although he’s not perfect he’s not bad either and I personally will be making my protest and voting for the Greens in this Election”

More than 1000 local people and visitors attended the first ever Glastonbury Green Fair which featured 40 stalls of local, ethical and green goods, services and campaigning organisations including The Centre for Sustainable Energy (Bristol), The British Union of Anti- Vivisection (No 2 Green List candidate in the South West, Emily McIvor, a BUAV lobbyist in Brussels also attended the Fair) West Mendip Credit Union, Somerset Food Links, Greenpeace (Glastonbury) plus therapists, healers and local musicians who donated their time and skills to the Green Party in support of the Green Fair and the Green Party South West Campaign to elect the first ever Green MEP in the region on June 10.

An all day programme of Small Hall talks and sharing circles included the themes of Europe; Making Peace; Living Green issues; and Local Green Campaigners working in areas such as Sustainable Tourism, Ethical Finance and Food and Farming.

Mendip Green Party Spokesperson Anthony Ward said “ the Fair was an amazing success building on the presence of the Big Green Bus Tour in town and a sell-out Big Green Gig the night before in the Town Hall. Everyone seemed to have a great day and hundreds of people went away with increased awareness of green issues and green solutions what the Green Party stands for and why its important to vote Green on June 10. We signed up 20 new local party members and gave out hundreds of leaflets and window posters”.

BACKGROUND NOTES

At the last European Elections the SW Greens had the highest percentage vote in the country (8.5% ) and the Region is generally acknowledged to represent the No1 target for Green Party gains in the June 10 poll. The Greens high profile campaigns against the war and GM foods and for economic Localisation not Globalisation are key elements of their growing appeal to the vast legions of voters disillusioned with what Greens call ‘the Grey Parties’ - New Labour, The Tories and the Lib Dems.

David Taylor who runs the Earth Spirit residential education centre in Somerset, co-founded the Green Gatherings, has taken part in Non-violent direct action against nuclear weapons and GM foods, was Green Party Principal Speaker for 3 years. He is Regional Director of the No Campaign (Yes to Europe, No to the Euro).

Hit The Streets!

By Ricky Knight

We are told that no-one knows about this election, that no-one is interested, that no-one is going to bother to vote. This is a tragedy, if only because it could become self-fulfilling. Yet it is not a foregone conclusion – it’s not a platitude to say the Greens really DO offer a credible alternative and are the perfect party for an alternative “protest” vote, despite the presence this time of not just UKIP - who tragically pipped us to the post last time, taking the 7th and last seat by 20,000 votes – but also Respect, the George Galloway party, who will unfortunately probably attract some of the disaffected old labour vote away from us.

Yes, I said a mere two thousand votes – that really is nothing. This is a proportional voting system – David Taylor, our excellent lead candidate, maintains that this reduces itself to a couple of extra votes from every other street. When he was down last week, campaigning in the Pannier Market and the High Street in Barnstaple, it was quite clear that he was picking up votes from scratch relatively easily.

We are in the luxurious position, temporarily one hopes, of having no record to defend and a positively horrendous record to attack! If 70% odd of voters are not expecting to want to vote, I am absolutely convinced that a significant number of them would vote Green if only, firstly, we could make them aware of the fact that they could vote Green (i.e. that we have a list, that we’re standing) and then, if only we could somehow get to them, not just onto the doormat in the next two weeks with the freepost leaflet, but also by being there on the streets. We have literally THOUSANDS of excellent leaflets to give out – it takes next to no effort to hand out leaflets. We have all sorts of merchandise to sell or give away, including the cutest likkull green windmills, stickers, posters, mini-manifestos and policy statements.

Thousands of people pour into Barnstaple and Bideford at the weekend. That’s why we are going to have a stall and campaigning presence in these two centres over the next four Saturdays (whoops, you’ve missed the first one, sorry), the 22nd & 29th May (that’s Green Bus Day, so the campaigning will be taking place anyway, around the bus) and 5th June, a mere five days before polling day. Again, venues to be confirmed – Bideford High Street, Quay and pedestrian area and Barnstaple High Street, near the Guildhall, as usual, well, all over, really, depending on level of support. This is finite; four Saturdays, between 10.30.a.m. and 1.00p.m. We need your support.

Back in ’93, our very own Peter Christie caused a sensation by polling over 15% of the vote, first time round. With a few more percentage points this time, we’ll be home and dry with TWO MEP’s! It can be done.

Trans-Send : Conference report.

By Roland Gold

Conference on community renewable energy projects, Landmark Theatre, Ilfracombe, March 22 2004.

Trans-send is a community group promoting renewable energy and sustainable living. They are based in Ilfracombe, North Devon. The conference was made possible by financial help from the SEED programme, NDDC and Exmoor National Park Authority.

About 120 people attended to listen to a very full agenda. The Green Party was well represented as well as many local councillors [some of us with two hats on!]. Nick Harvey, our local MP, opened the conference emphasising the need to reduce energy consumption. He spoke about the global issues including the Kyoto Agreement but he emphasised the importance of doing what we can on a local level in our own community. We heard how the UK has the least renewable systems in Europe.

Speakers from NDDC, one of the sponsors, spoke about the aims of the Renewable Action Plan. The Devon Strategic Partnership published a report in September 2003 with recommendations for action. We were told about the aims of the report and some specific local projects were outlined, e.g. the 56.5kw P.V. cells on the Civic Centre roof, Barnstable, the 35 eco-homes in South Molton, and the experimental marine current turbine off the coast at Lynmouth.

A speaker from DARE [The Devon Association for Renewable Energy] explained the needs and values of renewable energy use locally, and how it can benefit local jobs, help generate local economic growth and encourage new skills and technologies.

Other people spoke about specific projects: the Holsworthy BioGas Project, the community wind farm at Awel Aman Tawe in Wales, and a Bio-mass [timber powered] district heating scheme in a small rural village, also in Wales and a Bio-diesel project making diesel fuel from recycled food oil. I came home loaded with notes and information from a very full day’s conference. So what do we do about it? Clearly we need to apply this thinking in practical ways on personal and local levels.

One thing I’ve done in Lynton and Lynmouth for our local council is not only to report on the conference, but I’ve made a questionnaire to encourage my fellow councillors to start some action. I’m about to report on the results of this next week. 11 out of 12 councillors had a stab at filling in my forms and there’s been some good feedback, for example, we made a resolution to try to reduce energy use in council buildings, and look at renewable energy options for our Town Hall which is soon to be refurbished. I’m hoping we can run an energy reduction competition in our community. I will report on the Questionnaire and this competition in future issues of Greenlines.

The Devon Strategic Partnership report aims to generate 11% to 15% of its electricity by renewable sources by 2010 [currently only 1% is produced by renewable sources]. I believe we need to both reduce our energy use and switch our sources of energy to 100% renewables. This needs a huge rethink. We can start in our own homes. How can we expect anyone else to take this seriously if we don’t do it ourselves? The conference was a great inspiration but now we must act on it.

A Floating Visit

By Jon Hooper & L’Anne Knight

This month the North Devon Green Party hosted a visit from Green Euro-candidate David Taylor, the highlight of which was a boat trip to the experimental offshore marine current turbine at Lynmouth. Our guide for the trip, “longshoreman”

Matthew was an unexpected gold mine of knowledge, green thinking and balanced opinions, with a degree in Politics just to cap it off. The topics Matthew discussed with David included the seemingly perennial problem of all suitable alternative energy sites also being locations of outstanding natural beauty, and also the hurdles involved in securing grant money for alternative energy projects. Matthew explained that the experimental offshore turbine was built by Marine Current Turbines Ltd - a Consortium Group of industrial partners - to provide proof that the technology can work, to support an application for more funding to build full marine current turbine farms.

The experimental turbine isn’t actually connected to the national grid, as the cost of connecting it by laying an underwater cable would, Matthew claimed, be almost as much as the cost of building the turbine itself, so he expected a full tidal energy farm to consist of at least half a dozen turbines, each with a protruding service platform as shown in the photograph. Foreland point is a particularly suitable location for generating marine current energy because of the great tidal range and shallow depth of the Bristol Channel, but there are many other possible locations for marine current generator farms along the West coast of the UK, and elsewhere in the world.

Marine Current Turbines Ltd claim: “marine current energy resource has the potential for exploitation to equal or exceed wind energy in its future importance”. Further information on the project can be found at http://www.marineturbines.com/projects.htm

For David Taylor, the potential for generating green energy from marine turbines was just one important local issue among many. Arriving on Thursday, he went down to Winkleigh to check out issues surrounding the proposed Biomass plant, followed by a visit to Bideford Quay to meet with Mayor Peter Christie and check out proposals for developments on the Quay. Friday saw a very fruitful walkabout in Barnstaple Pannier market - lots of people interested in voting Green. Next came a trip to Deep Moor recycling centre and discussions as to the way forward to encourage the general populous to recycle as much as possible rather than extending landfill sites. That was followed by visit to college with opportunity to talk to students, and finally, the trip to the Turbine at Lynmouth.

When Is ‘Green’ Not Green?

By Anne Rix

Green Euro Candidate meets Winkleigh Campaigners

David Taylor’s visit to North Devon at the end of April provided the impetus for local members to find out more about the proposed biomass power plant at Winkleigh. During his visit, David met a group of campaigners against the proposal, some of whom are Green Party members. Prior to this discussion, David had some scepticism about the protest, given that the proposal sounds – on the face of it – to be an alternative, sustainable energy source, which Greens would normally expect to support.
Some of the reasons against the proposal are given in the notes from Wendy Mondy which follow, but at the meeting further details emerged which led David to comment that the project appeared to be a “greenwash” in that the developers were using the “Green” label in order to promote something which was clearly not of an appropriate scale, and that the wider implications of this had not been addressed.

Nimby or Not?

David made the point that it would be simplistic to dismiss local concerns as ‘nimbyism’ since that label could be used to counter justifiable reasons for concern and to stifle debate on important issues. He stressed that although the Green Party is generally in favour of all forms of renewable energy generation, every proposal must be assessed on its merits, and looked at in the full local ecological context. David was impressed by the level of research undertaken by the Winkleigh protest group, and their general expertise on wider economic and environmental issues. He has publicly given his personal opinion that he is ‘not convinced this is a fully sustainable development’. However, that is as far as he can go without endorsement from local Green Party members.

Several aspects of wider Green Party policy were also discussed at the Winkleigh meeting, and two members of the group (not GP members) subsequently emailed to say that they were so impressed by David that they are going to vote Green.

How Green is Winkleigh?

Following his meeting with Winkleigh campaigners, David discussed the issue with several members of NDGP, including committee members. One of the main points against the Winkleigh biomass proposal is the failure to consult with the local community. This is in stark contrast to the High Bickington 2000 project (Hemp project) which David also visited.

At High Bickington, just 7 miles from Winkleigh, community consultation has been the core of the project to develop a vacant farm property for the benefit of the whole community. This is a project which David was happy to endorse as being thoroughly green on all counts. Further information can be found on www.highbickington.org but a fundamental principle is that:

‘The village must develop a plan for the land which will be self financing and sustainable. It must be about uses which will benefit the village for years to come, and most importantly, these uses must have the agreement of the majority of the villagers.’

Here is a clear pointer to where, in the opinion of the undersigned, the Winkleigh proposal fails on some basic Green principles. There has been no local consultation, and detailed examination of the proposals raises serious doubts about the sustainability and financial viability of the project. In short, it just isn’t deeply ecological – it’s ‘greenwash’.

On its Merits

NDGP members need to look carefully at the Winkleigh project, in order to come to a decision as to whether they can genuinely support it or not. If not, then it is an issue on which we could make a statement to the press in the run-up to the Euro Elections; if nothing else, it should make for some great headlines – ‘Greens oppose Green Proposal’ etc. – and stimulate useful discussion.

Please make your views known to one of the NDGP committee members, or come along to the next ND Committee meeting (phone Ricky on 01271 371732 for details) at which the issue will be discussed and a press statement formulated.

Power Station Proposal For Farmland On Old Airfield At Winkleigh

By Wendy Mondy

Local environmentally friendly people feel that this proposal is against “green” philosophy for the following reasons.

1. The use of biomass material as fuel for the Winbeg proposal that would be better recycled and/or composted locally, as recommended by Devon's Waste Management Strategy May 2003, instead of transported around the County.
2. The developer, along with SWRDA, is refusing to undertake a fossil fuel trade off model. So the CO2 and NOx debts produced by the transportation and harvesting of crops grown for energy in this rural situation will not be taken into account.
3. The fossil fuel used to supply “green renewable fuel” to the proposal will seriously reduce the effective “green” electricity production. Estimate based on DTI latest information the fossil fuel use equates to 8Mw – 17 Mw of power production.
4. Only by Year 6 will the developer have to use 55% of fuel crops for power production, the balance of 45% and the 100% prior to that point in time will have to be transported much longer distances, if available at all. The local South Molton chipboard factory has experienced sourcing problems and they will be in direct competition for fuel supplies of clean wood waste. The fossil fuel trade off deficit will be even greater for the first 5 years on this point alone. Please see other points below.
5. The two technologies still have to be proved to work together. The situation, resulting in ARBRE being closed down after 8 DAYS, still has not been resolved to our knowledge. As of today NO OTHER power producer has successfully used this combination over a useful period of time and still operating with or without significant subsidies from governments.
6. Based on the very recent DTI yield survey, 10,000 hectares will be needed to produce the 55% fuel energy crops. This will:
   • significantly affect bio-diversity;
   • increase the amount of deep ploughing to cover increased acreage required;
   • increase the amount of fuel used to produce same quantity of fuel crop;
   • increase the amount of chemical spraying required to grow the same tonnage of fuel;
   • increase the amount of fossil fuel used to transport the crop to Winkleigh;
   • significantly increase the possibility that fuel crops will have to be grown much further afield than the 25 miles radius suggested at present, which will require special permission not obtained at present This will significantly increase the use of fossil fuel for transportation;
   • road maintenance and repairs will be increased which again will have additional fossil fuel costs, let alone cost increases to local residents in the form of Council Tax.
7. When this project, the largest in Europe, fails it will have done irreparable damage to the reputation of biomass use that will be difficult to repair, if at all possible.
8. Small is Beautiful, a basic Green philosophy is not being applied to this project, nor is thinking globally acting locally.
9. A Green philosophy of local consultation and agreement has not even been attempted.

Replies and refutations of claims about WINBEG

by Roger Barton (MD of Peninsula Power Ltd, not a member of the NDGP)

[editor: Roger Barton originally wrote direct replies to statements in the above two articles, but I judged it to be unfair in the circumstances to publish his replies inside Anne's and Wendy's articles, as that would potentially mislead the reader into thinking there had been a direct dialogue between the three of them, with Roger seemingly having the final conclusive say on each issue. As this did not happen, and Anne and Wendy were not - mainly due to publishing time contraints - notified of Roger's article and given the opportunity to reply or amend their submissions, I have decided to edit Roger's article to be a self-contained piece. Unfortunately, this did not happen with the printed version of Greenlines.

Officially, the North Devon Green Party regret that Anne and Wendy were upset by the way in which their articles were interspersed with Roger's comments in the printed version of Greenlines, but urge everyone to realise that Greenlines follows a tradition of being a small, informal publication where almost any articles on Green issues have been welcome, and we have printed many articles which could be seen as biased or unilateral.

Greenlines is not meant to represent the official views of the local party, but to reassure local green thinkers that other people in the area are thinking green as well, and to promote contact and cooperation between like-minded people.]

[Regarding David Taylor's statements] I am very surprised that a political candidate of a party that presumes to be a potential party of government, should make such comments before properly appraising information provided by other parties – in particular Peninsula Power, the developer. Since he has not done so, his comments cannot be treated seriously. I would welcome the opportunity of putting PPL’s case, especially since members of the GP are involved professionally with the project.

Peninsula Power has always acknowledged that there will be genuine concerns with any development of this kind, and have already addressed a range of issues raised by the public. The fact that David Taylor is not convinced of the project’s sustainable credentials simply means he does not know enough about it. I am ready to provide him with more information.

The last GP political broadcast on television (April 2004) majored on renewable energy and specifically supported biomass. The PPL project meets every international, national, and regional sustainable development criterion, and ther are more good reasons to support it than bad reasons not to do so.

[Regarding the alleged failure to consult with the local community,] PPL has consulted the representatives of the Winkleigh community since 1998 (details can be provided). Also, the company agreed a plan of action at a public meeting in July 2004, but the working party failed to follow through with the liaison and disbanded – before all the formal surveys etc have been completed! – That is hardly objective, and has done a great disservice to the local people.

[Regarding comparisons between WINBEG and the High Bickington community project,] there are very few similarities between PPL’s WINBEG project and High Bickington. HB’s project site is in the centre of the village; it is by its nature small scale and ‘in and of’ the community. WINBEG is a major commercial project of regional significance, and must be considered in a different manner. Neither the financial viability nor the technical viability of WINBEG is an issue, and the final decider will be the lending bank –who will put up £22m at the start. The bank will perform its own rigorous checks first, and if it concludes the project isn’t viable, it won’t get built.

There has been, is, and will be lots of local consultation on WINBEG. The fact is, the best time for detailed interaction is when all the surveys and studies have been done. Meanwhile, all the work done by PPL indicates that the project is sustainable, is green, and fulfils all strategic and environmental requirements. The project is more ecological than any alternatives – including small scale incineration – on grounds of efficiency, clean emissions, environmental and economic benefits, and its contribution to the Climatic Change Programme.

[Regarding local composting targets recommended by Devon's Waste Management Strategy May 2003,] the PPL proposals do not compromise the composting targets.

[Regarding undertaking a fossil fuel trade off model,] PPL was asked at a recent WPC meeting if the trade-off was being considered in the EIA. It is not, but will be dealt with in the biomass study. We have provided details of the ‘Energy Ratio’. We expect the ER for WINBEG to be about 20:1. (lifecycle energy input compared to energy yielded).

[Regarding claims that WINBEG will be in direct competition for supplies of wood with the South Molton Chipboard Factory, which is said to be experiencing sourcing problems, which might suggest that wood supplies would have to be sourced from further afield,] this is incorrect and misrepresents the situation. Nexfor has access to an abundance of material, but not necessarily at the prices they are willing to pay. They therefore optimise the price and availability of their supplies, and this is an appropriate commercial strategy. However, WINBEG is obliged by the DTI grant to use at least 50% of its supplies from energy crops grown within 25 miles. If more is available locally at the right price, we will use it. Nexfor and PPL will not compete for any supplies; we know this because we have discussed it with them.The fossil fuel trade-off is a red herring. It assumes that the vehicles will use fossil fuel (this is not a foregone conclusion). WINBEG usage should be compared with the alternative uses and the reductions achieved by the structural changes in farming. The claim that material will be hauled over long distances is pure speculation and is unlikely for numerous reasons.

[Regarding claims that no other power producer has successfully used this gasification process over a useful period of time and still operating with or without significant subsidies from governments,] these comments are Luddite and anti-innovation We know that the gasifier works with gas turbines, but it has not yet been used with our gas turbine. ARBRE is not relevant to WINBEG, because the gasifier and power island set-up , and virtually every aspect of the project were different.

[Regarding claims that according to a very recent DTI yield survey, 10,000 hectares will be needed to produce the 55% fuel energy crops,] these matters are being addressed by the independent biomass consultancy study, which will produce definitive results. There is no evidence to support the statistics for the SW. Our estimates are based on actual performance figures provided to us by producers.

[Regarding claims that WINBEG will decrease biodiversity,] all the research done so far shows that energy crops increase biodiversity.

[Regarding claims that increased deep ploughing will be needed,] whether deep ploughing is used depends on the crop selected and the previous usage.

[Regarding claims that the plans require an increase in the amount of chemical spraying required to grow the same tonnage of fuel,] chemical spraying is not a significant feature of energy crop growing at any rate of production.

[Regarding claims that that fuel crops will have to be grown much further afield than the 25 miles radius suggested at present,] yes, this is correct. The Energy Crops Scheme, provides for such. This would be a temporary situation, and the supplies further afield would in due course be relinquished to projects closer, as the energy crop industry evolves.

[Regarding claims that road wear will increase,] our proposals should result in reduced road wear and damage.

[Regarding worries that a failed biomass project would harm other future biomass projects,] if the banks believe it is unvialble it will not get built; if it does get built it will not fail. Far greater damage will be done to the reputation of biomass if this project does not happen.

[Regarding the comment that in green philosophy, "small is beautiful",] ‘Small’ is relative. WINBEG is small, compared to most forms of energy generation, including wind turbines. Also, with biomass, there is no direct relationship between power output and physical size, and there are definite benefits from economies of scale.

[Regarding claims that local consultation has not been attempted, ] these are untrue, but the consultation will not take the form of small community projects such as High Bickington. It is in process now, but some people are impatient. The EIA scoping exercise involved community comment. Winkleigh PC, Winkleigh Society, and the Winkleigh working Party all submitted detailed comments - some of which were incorporated into the EIA, and some of which were included in the biomass study. Numerous other items requested will be covered in the mandatory Integrated Pollution Prevention and Control process administered by the Environment Agency. IPPC also has a separate public consultation process built in to it that has still to take place. Peninsula Power has agreed to liaise with the WPC to hold a public exhibition and public meeting after all the studies and data collection have been completed.
