'restrictive regulations that had in effect ruled out onshore wind turbine construction in England since 2015, brought in by David Cameron to appease rightwing Conservatives'
'Sunak agreed to amend the regulations last year under pressure from his backbenchers who were concerned about the impact of the ban on energy prices. But campaigners pointed out that the relaxation of the ban was only partial, and warned it was likely to be ineffective.'

Zero plans for public onshore windfarms submitted last year in England​

Wales is ploughing forwards. Lucky for us they get to share the 'English tax'.

A Times headline has 'offshore wind needs higher subsidies'.
Meanwhile onshore wind is still dirt cheap.

'A Japanese wind development consortium led by Marubeni has signed a power purchase agreement (PPA) with the Saudi Power Procurement Company for the output of the 600-megawatt Al-Ghat wind farm at a price of 1.56 cents per kilowatt-hour measured by levelized cost of energy '

Mr Miliband said via the Torygraph “People have different views on the onshore wind ban. According to the Resolution Foundation, it has cost poorer households six times more as a proportion of their income than middle-class households."

Almost close to mentioning that onshore wind is now the cheapest form of power by far. Obviously the poor pay the large proportion, having far less money in their pot.

I thought Trump's ridiculous comment concerned offshore wind farms?
Surely even Trump can't think whales live on terra firma.....

And grouse shooting

[off-topic] Our local shoot buys grouse chicks wholesale from France, rears them, releases them, and shoots some of them. The rest could count as an invasive species.
