UK sails ahead in offshore wind power generation
This article tells how: “The UK has sailed ahead in offshore wind power generation in the past six months, building more offshore windfarms than any other country in the world, and accounting for almost all of the turbines erected in European waters this year. Of only 108 offshore turbines built around Europe’s coastline from January to June, a whopping 101 were built around the UK, with only six built in Germany, and a single one in Norway, according to estimates published on Wednesday by the trade body European Wind Energy Association (EWEA).”
This provides the perfect cue for me to make you aware of the new coastal regeneration fund, derived partly from wind farm wind fall cash which was announced a week ago. You may have missed the information and you can learn more about it by having a look at this article in last Friday’s Yorkshire Post (http://www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/news/at-a-glance/main-section/community_fund_to_help_seaside_towns_1_3603758)
