Oil giant to move into wind power

Plans have been unveiled for the erection of four 85 metre high wind turbines at the Total refinery site, Milford Haven. This is part of Total’s response to those conservationists who have long been warning of the negative effects of greenhouse gases, exacerbated by the burning of fossil fuels, and to other experts who warn that oil and gas supplies could start to run out in as little as ten years.
