UK majority wants more wind farms

This week a new survey by the BBC showed that 67% of the UK are in favour of more wind farms.

Support for nuclear and fracking was significantly lower at below 50%.

The BBC survey also highlighted a “generation gap” with support for renewables strongest among the younger generation. In the 25-34 age group support for wind farms jumped to 82% in favour!

Hardly surprising given who will be still be around to live with the consequences of climate change and energy shortages.

Let’s hope the Government and particularly the planning system catch up with public opinion.
