What exactly is it that's worth fighting for?

It was a sheer joy to be out in Montgomeryshire today. After attending the Funky Dragon debate at the Red Ridge centre, I drove down to Newtown. It would be pleasant enough traveling through Cefn Coch, Adfa, Tregynon and Bettws Cedewain on any given day, but it was enhanced in the glorious sunshine. However what I did today that I've never done before, is actually drive very slowly and stop at various locations to take in the views.

I realised that whilst driving in other countries I've stopped to enjoy views, that are no more glorious than those on offer in Montgomeryshire. Rolling green hills and forests of vibrant colours all topped by a crystal blue sky. Would any other country in the civilised world tolerate the threat to such bliss? Would any other country consider the spectre of 56m pylons running through its heartland, to spoil the life of such rural beauty? Of course not, and that's why what we have here is worth fighting for, to preserve it for those not even born yet!
