#OnshoreWind in the #UK makes zero sense unless you approach it like this; #CommunityEnergy - #EnergyIndependence - #decarbonization.
#Bravo to #DaleVince & #Ecotricity for proposing a #renewableenergy scheme which benefits all of #Gloucestershire (not just #EnergyGrifters). Perhaps they could also decommission that abysmal #BioMass generating debacle as well? #Drax. #AskingForAFriend

Its execution is being left to #EnergyGrifters focused only on grandeur. #Labour should end these delusions immediately and get serious about #Decarbonization. Do not waste time on #IndustrialStrategy and use the tools already at hand.
