Abstract
The United Kingdom is the Saudi Arabia of wind energy. The winds that blow across her surrounding seas could supply several times the nation's electricity requirements. But current offshore wind projects are progressing much too slowly. Over the next two decades, Britain should install many thousands of megawatts of offshore generating capacity in a mutually-beneficial public-private partnership, following the example of the successful offshore oil and gas industries of the 70s and 80s. Godfrey Boyle reports.
