TL:DR A Dylan Thomas style summary of our Wales Net Zero Challenge Energy report

Few people have time to read the full report, so here's an AI summary in the style of the late Dylan Thomas

(Read in the voice of Richard Burton.)?

In the green, rolling hills and whispering valleys of Wales, a tale unfolds of a land striving to cast off the dark cloak of fossil fuels by the year of our Lord, 2035. The vision is clear, like the morning dew on a daffodil: a prosperous, resilient Wales, where the hum of electric currents replaces the old, smoky breath of coal and oil.

The Welsh Government, with a heart full of hope and hands ready to toil, must quicken the pace, streamline the paths, and clear the brambles from the way of renewable energy. They call upon the mighty National Grid and the distant UK Government to hasten their steps, to weave a tapestry of electric threads across the land.

In the bustling towns and quiet hamlets, the people must unite, their voices rising in a harmonious chorus, to choreograph the dance of industrial decarbonisation. They dream of a Wales Wealth Fund, a treasure chest filled with the gold of renewable projects, to be shared with future generations.

But hark! Without a grand shift, a mighty upheaval, the climate crisis will loom larger, casting shadows on the present and future alike. Incremental steps, like the hesitant footfalls of a child, will not suffice. Bold strides are needed, now and evermore.

Electrification, the shining beacon, is the path to salvation. Great wind farms, both onshore and off, and fields of solar panels, like sunflowers turning to the sky, must rise. Yet, the grid, the lifeblood of this new world, must be strengthened, its veins and arteries expanded.

In the heart of the community, where the hearths glow warm and the voices are familiar, local energy projects bloom like wildflowers. They bring not just power, but pride and purpose, giving the people a stake in their own bright future.

Community energy, a song sung by many voices, holds the promise of reshaping the land. No longer will Wales' riches flow outward, leaving the land barren. Instead, green energy will flourish, and Wales will stand tall as a beacon of sustainability.

Industry, the great consumer, must learn to dance in step, each move considered, each choice harmonized with the whole. The grid, once a barrier, must become a bridge, enabling the flow of energy, unimpeded and free.

Wind and solar, the twin pillars of renewable power, stand ready. And beyond the horizon, floating offshore wind and tidal streams whisper of future potential, while the old giants of nuclear power stir once more.

Tidal energy, a dream of the deep, may not yet rise to its full height by 2035, but its time will come. And so, the first-of-a-kind projects, the pioneers, must blaze their trails, bringing knowledge, building supply chains, and lighting the way for those who follow.

Thus, in the land of song and story, Wales marches forward, a land of green promise, where the future is bright and the air is clean.
