The Wind Blows Answers for the U.K.
Our world cannot continue to live off of fossil fuels. Whatever your political stance, we all agree that there’s a limit to how much Mother Earth can provide. The United Kingdom recognizes this very real fact and has big plans; plans to convert every home to wind-power by 2020.
Even wind-industry proponents seem skeptical but the government is determined. It’s plan detail that every home will be powered by off-shore wind farms in a little more than a decade. Currently, the UK powers only about 2% of the country’s electricity via wind power.
So how can they pick up the pace…and pretty quickly? Buy purchasing more wind turbines. The “big picture” plan is to procure more turbines, likely American made, since favorable exchange rates should work to their advantage.
This is positive news for an entire country who realizes drastic plans need to be prioritized to change our reliance on fossil fuels and make our lands cleaner.
