English: I very much welcome the initiative to set up a new state-owned company. We need to learn from the experience of Norway, which, when they discovered oil there, they set up what is now the largest sovereign wealth fund in the world. And what were we left with? Nothing; it's all gone up in a puff of smoke and the private companies have gone off with all the money. So, I've long been frustrated that NRW hasn't been able to develop renewables itself, rather than giving concessions to foreign companies of one sort or another, because the communities who reside in the areas where we have such potential do not understand the value of the renewable activity that is going to go on in their area and, frankly, these companies have been allowed to get away with offering peanuts. There are so few renewable energy schemes that have actually directly benefited the local communities themselves. The Bethesda hydro scheme, which was supported by the National Trust, is one where there is direct benefit to communities, and Awel Aman Tawe, which I'm an investor in, has also benefited local communities directly. But it's a complicated story, is it not, to try and invest in new energy. But we've got so many possibilities of developing renewable energy in Wales and we know that we can sell it to any number of countries abroad, once we've satisfied our own needs. So, I suppose I want to understand a bit more about the timescales, because I appreciate that caution is required to get the terms of any joint venture project right, but, in the meantime, we have this raging energy crisis. How quickly can we be, in parallel, developing potential schemes that are going to be oven-ready once you've got the financial terms right with whoever your joint venture partner is going to be?
Welsh: Rwy'n croesawu'r fenter yn fawr i sefydlu cwmni gwladol newydd. Mae angen i ni ddysgu o brofiad Norwy, y gwnaethon nhw, ar ôl darganfod olew yno, sefydlu'r hyn sydd bellach yn gronfa cyfoeth sofran fwyaf y byd. A beth gawsom ni? Dim; mae'r cyfan wedi diflannu mewn pwff o fwg ac mae'r cwmnïau preifat wedi mynd â'r arian i gyd. Felly, rwyf wedi bod yn rhwystredig ers tro nad yw Cyfoeth Naturiol Cymru wedi gallu datblygu ynni adnewyddadwy ei hun, yn hytrach na rhoi consesiynau i gwmnïau tramor o ryw fath neu'i gilydd, oherwydd nid yw'r cymunedau sy'n byw yn yr ardaloedd lle mae gennym ni'r fath botensial yn deall gwerth y gweithgarwch adnewyddadwy a fydd yn digwydd yn eu hardal ac, a bod yn onest, mae'r cwmnïau hyn wedi cael dianc gan gynnig dim byd ond arian mân. Mae cyn lleied o gynlluniau ynni adnewyddadwy sydd wedi bod o fudd uniongyrchol i'r cymunedau lleol eu hunain mewn gwirionedd. Mae cynllun hydro Bethesda, a gefnogwyd gan yr Ymddiriedolaeth Genedlaethol, yn un lle mae budd uniongyrchol i gymunedau, ac mae Awel Aman Tawe, yr ydw i'n fuddsoddwr ynddo, hefyd wedi bod o fudd uniongyrchol i gymunedau lleol. Ond mae'n stori gymhleth, onid yw, i geisio buddsoddi mewn ynni newydd. Ond mae gennym ni gymaint o bosibiliadau o ddatblygu ynni adnewyddadwy yng Nghymru ac rydym ni'n gwybod y gallwn ni ei werthu i unrhyw nifer o wledydd tramor, wedi i ni fodloni ein hanghenion ein hunain. Felly, mae'n debyg fod arna i eisiau deall ychydig mwy am yr amserlenni, oherwydd rwy'n sylweddoli bod angen pwyll i gael telerau unrhyw brosiect cyd-fentro yn iawn, ond, yn y cyfamser, mae gennym ni'r argyfwng ynni ofnadwy yma. Pa mor gyflym allwn ni fod, ochr yn ochr, yn datblygu cynlluniau posibl a fydd yn barod i'w gweithredu unwaith y bydd gennych chi'r telerau ariannol cywir gyda phwy bynnag fydd eich partner cyd-fentro?
