Burned - Merthyr's Fight for Clean Air and Green Jobs

If you thought fighting the proposed biomass plant in Leith or the incinerator in Dunbar was a bit of a slog, pity the poor people of Merthyr in Wales.

As this short Friends of the Earth video shows, the Welsh Assembly doesn't even have a say over the planning of a new incinerator overlooking Merthyr. An unelected body will have the final vote, after an inept public consultation.

At least here we have some semblance of public accountability!
