Scientists at the Public Policy Research Institute in London have calculated that at the current rate of construction of onshore wind farms, the UK could meet its clean energy targets of up to 6723 by 2050. It has been reported Bloomberg.
“The current planning system in the UK is not even remotely suitable for a zero emissions world. <..> “At the current rate of construction, we are this far from the onshore wind required for energy security since Stonehenge’s construction began in 2500 BC,” said Luke Murphy, vice president of the institute. infrastructure.
According to the scientist, it is the policy of the Conservative Party of Great Britain that is responsible for the current situation, which actually prohibits new onshore wind farms and makes it difficult for new projects to be approved. Institute research data shows that after the Conservatives came to power, the speed of construction of wind farms dropped 180 times.
