Nature and offshore wind farms
Why is it okay for industry to take over large areas of our sea to generate energy ?. . Our oceans are already under threat from climate change and man's activites. Now we are about to hit marine life with a double whammy by industrialising UK's coastal areas to satisfy our insatiable need for energy.
Environmentalists are right to be wary of this new attempt by big business to take over more of the earth's resources. The UK has the laxest permitting regime for offshore wind in the EU. Check out the amount of offshore wind permitted in UK' s coastal waters compared with that permitted in Germany, DK, Belgium, Netherlands, Spain , France etc.
Wildlife protection in other countries seems to be much more effective..
