The entrance is marked by an AI-generated image of a dead whale, floating among wind turbines. This striking image sets a serious tone for the forum, emphasizing the alarming concerns that local communities have regarding the impact of offshore wind farms on their region.
Leonie Hamilton, the NOTPS secretary, highlights the disconnect between local communities and the government: "We think it's important it happens before the election, so that people understand what the costs are. The coast belongs to everyone and they should have the opportunity to understand what's going on."
Ben Abbott of NOTPS articulates a prevailing sentiment among locals: "Some are still angry about a perceived lack of detail about the project. We're here to ensure that our concerns about the renewable energy rollout are not ignored during this transition."
Hamilton expresses her undecided stance toward nuclear energy, illustrating the complexity of local attitudes: "We're not there to push [politicians] into parliament, but we are going to listen to what they have to say."
