British energy bill payers have spent an "absurd" £1 billion to temporarily switch off wind turbines so far this year because the grid struggles to cope with their power on windy days.
The evidence that offshore wind farms are responsible for more and more strandings of whales and Dolphins is becoming increasingly hard to ignore, says Chris Morrison, the Daily Sceptic's Environment Editor.
Thousands of offshore wind turbines are to be built off the holiday coasts of Cornwall and South Wales under Crown Estate plans to accelerate offshore turbine expansion.
Consumers have already stumped up close to £2.5 million for Ed Miliband's flagship Viking wind farm in the Shetlands to have its turbines turned off.
Ed Miliband is to relax planning laws to make it easier and cheaper for developers to build onshore wind turbines and solar farms. Ah yes, the 'green' movement that destroys the countryside.
Labour's Energy Secretary Ed Miliband wasted no time in ending the "ban" on onshore wind. But with unreliable wind power escalating in cost, this blind commitment to wind power could be Labour's undoing, says Ben Pile.
"Not in my backyard!" The Green Party's co-leader is staunchly opposing plans for a 100-mile stretch of pylons through his constituency under Keir Starmer's Net Zero strategy.
Ten years after the rural backlash that forced David Cameron to ban onshore wind developments, Ed Miliband is planning to resume the rollout of wind farms across the English countryside.
Wind turbines as tall as 800ft are set to get the green light after Ed Miliband pledged to lift the ban on new onshore wind farms under a Labour Government.
From the 3,200 acre solar farm built on prime green belt farmland in Oxford to the 16 million Scottish trees felled to make way for wind farms, somehow we have to save the environment from the greens, says Alan Bunce.
