Labour lifts Tories’ ‘absurd’ ban on #OnshoreWindfarms

"These footnotes applied only to onshore wind, and no other type of infrastructure, and required such strong proof that there was no opposition locally that they made building turbines impossible..

In Labour’s new draft NPPF, these footnotes have been deleted in their entirety, meaning onshore wind projects are now on an even footing with all other forms of infrastructure."

#ESO said new record was also set for the share of #electricity #ongrid coming from #zerocarbon sources – #renewables & #nuclear – which supplied 87.2% of total power. These sources have accounted for about 55% to 59% of power over the past couple of years.

John #Redwood utterly apoplectic as his fracking shares take a dive & someone tells him about batteries.

#sunak, is expected to overturn a moratorium on new #onshorewindfarms.
