Yeo: Conservative Action for a Greener Britain- Speech to the Centre for Policy Studies
December 7, 2004
by Tim Yeo, Conservative MP for Suffolk South
Summary:
Instead, the Government insist that onshore wind farms are the answer to meeting both our energy needs and our carbon dioxide emission targets, despite the fact that:
• wind farms only generate energy when the wind is blowing, and then not too hard
• they can't store energy, but only pass it on for immediate use,
• they are sometimes opposed by local communities for sound environmental and economic reasons, and
• they can only make a tiny contribution to achieving our renewables target .
