The plant, which is the only major wind turbine manufacturing plant in Britain is being closed after the cash rich company who own it decided they were going to shut it down.

This had lead to the unusual collaboration of trade union and environmental campaigners marching together to try and save the plant from closure.

Only last week the energy and climate secretary, Ed Miliband was talking about how thousands of new jobs would be created in the attempt to use more and more renewable energy sources. This now seems hard to believe after the events of this week with workers at the Newport plant fighting hard to keep their jobs.
