| 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. |

 | This shown a good progress of what the society need to know rather than waiting for the politician to implement policies that will lead us to nothing at this current time |
 | The report is outdated, it is now 5 years old. - The authors fail to see that the national grid can accept a large amount of windpower, while mantaining grid stability. Even more so when the Britned cable is available - The report treats windpower as a problem, in stead of as the solution. It seems to be written from the perspective of the fossile industry. Scotland alone could be wealthy by feeding the complete UK and France with their sustainable electricity - the report fails to explain why the by far most resourceful nation in Europe, is not yet living on the wind alone. - The Uk made a very expensive error in deciding that offshore windpower got preference before on land windpower. This is a foolish choice. - landfill gas is not a sustainable source of energy |
