Default UK's Sustainable Development Commission's view on Wind Power
Sustainable Development Commission's view on wind power in the UK

SDC URL: http://www.sd-commission.org.uk/pages/230505.html

Interesting quotes from the SDC site and the SDC report;

- "The UK has the best and most geographically diverse wind resources in Europe, more than enough to meet current renewable energy targets"

- "Technological advances mean there are no limits to the amount of wind capacity that can be added to an electricity system"

- "Wind power will displace fossil-fuelled plant, and there is no need for dedicated ‘backup’ plant to cope with wind"
