UKIP has pledged to put an end to “unsightly” wind turbines in Wales as it unveiled its manifesto for next month’s Welsh Assembly election.
Nigel Farage’s party said it would oppose wind farms in an effort to prevent developments in rural areas.
UKIP has also committed to axe the £73m Welsh Government budget for climate change.
The 48-page document makes no other mention of energy.
RenewableUK Wales director David Clubb said: “It appears that – to UKIP – the only problem in the energy sector is an abundance of wind turbines. Carbon emissions, air pollution, energy costs, security of supply, grid issues, community energy…these are clearly not worthy of comment.
“The manifesto reveals what we already knew; UKIP have no credible policies on energy and climate change, and the party does not deserve the support of anyone who cares for the health and well-being of fellow citizens, or of future generations.”
