Donald Trump has told Keir Starmer to "open up" the North Sea and "get rid of windmills", as the President-elect attacked the U.K. Government’s Net Zero energy policy.
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.
Britain’s wind power generation is set to plummet to almost zero this week as Ed Miliband presses ahead with plans to cut dependency on gas and increase the nation’s reliance on intermittent renewable energy.
When Ed Miliband didn’t come to the Commons to deliver a statement it became obvious the wheels had come off his 'plan' for zero carbon electricity by 2030. It's another broken election pledge, says Claire Coutinho.
Massive electricity price rises are expected as National Grid confirms that gas is the only planned back-up for intermittent renewable energy, placing Britain at the mercy of global price spikes, says Chris Morrison.
As if Hull didn't have enough problems, eco-obsessed Cold Play have announced their only U.K. tour dates outside London will take place there. Observers are baffled, but Roger Watson thinks he knows why: wind turbines.
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.
Ed Miliband's expansion of offshore wind alone amounts to nine million tonnes of industrial equipment added to the sea. The sheer immensity of 'green' industrialisation is coming as a shock to many, says John Constable.
Australia's latest hare-brained scheme to turn the Outback into a giant solar farm resembles a nutty Heath Robinson contraption and may mark the beginning of the end of Australia's renewables romance, says Nick Cater.
Giant wind turbines, reaching up to 850 feet tall – over 250 feet higher than London's Gherkin building – could soon dominate the British countryside, after Ed Miliband dismissed calls for a height limit.
