| Summary: | Wind Power in the UK’ is set against the Government target to increase the contribution of renewables to UK electricity to 10 per cent by 2010 – with an aspiration of 20 per cent by 2020 – as part of efforts to dramatically reduce greenhouse gas emissions while enhancing energy security. The report aims to help policy-makers and planners balance genuine local concerns with wider environmental and social needs, so the benefits of renewable energy are realised through careful design and consultation. The report is 176 pages long. This report was revised in November 2005. |

 | Its not that good. There's only little infomation on it and no pictures. |
| i like it but more pictures would be nice |
 | really really good information- love it! Its such god help for my geograpghy a level this summer |
| An excellent easy-to-read summary of key issues |
| I fail to understand how the report gives a cost of 5.5 p/KWH for Offshore wind while the 2006 Energy Review uses a figure of 8.2 p/KWH. Does the SDC accept the current 2006/2007 government figures? With such discrepancies it is impossible to form an opinion on the way forward. Surely the SCD could publish agreed and authoratative cost numbers. |
