      Beyond the obvious of not being a North Sea nation our failure to get a move on probably means we’ll be delivering no more than the odd percent.

      We’re great at signing up to things and issuing press releases. Building offshore wind however … wall to wall NIMBYs.

      I swear to god if I hear again about how our “offshore wind potential is huge” and yet nothing gets built….

      We have 7 offshore wind turbines. We have not put up an offshore wind turbine in 20 years.

      This is laughable.

      Despite being named the „North Sea“ project, it includes windfarms south of the UK and Ireland.

      Critically, the windfarms are connected to the UK, Ireland and France, and act as both a windfarm *and* an interconnector at the same time. Power can flow from the windfarms to whichever country needs it, and the three countries can also exchange power across the interconnects.

      When built, it will effectively give us access to three major windfarms and two new interconnects, one each to France and the UK.

      Or….i dunno, offer solar panels at ridiculously low prices and offer incentives for the government to take control of extra energy created.

      If the government asked me to put in solar panels at a severely subsidised price, for me to gain from lower bills and in turn provide my excess energy to the government for x amount of years, I’d buy them in a heartbeat!

      How about you do something instead of acting like you’re doing something?

      Remember the pledge you took at your confirmation (those of you who did it), how long did that last.

      Will anything ever be built or just objection after objection. We do need to build these
