The UK is one of the shining lights on wind energy. According to the article below, "wind power supplies more than a quarter of the UK's electricity needs.The UK had the world's largest fleet of offshore turbines until 2021, and is now second only to China. In 2022, 90 per cent of new global offshore wind was built in China and the UK, which are expected to lead the world until at least 2030".

This in itself should be cause for patting ourselves on the back, although the UK being an island certainly helps us here, as we are not short of offshore locations for wind turbines. However, is being a leading light enough, when there is so much more room to improve? Is it true that red tape is significantly slowing down the deployment of new wind turbines in the UK?
