Proceeding contribution from Lord Bellingham (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 23 May 2007. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Energy White Paper.

Energy White Paper

Is the Secretary of State aware that there are now 500 offshore wind turbines either under construction on, or planned for, sites in the Wash or off the Norfolk coast? They are less intermittent than onshore turbines, and they have critical mass and carry huge public support, in stark contrast to the various applications for sporadic onshore sites, which are far less efficient, do huge environmental damage and are universally unpopular. What can we do to get these onshore turbines offshore?
