At least according to this article on BBC news online
Offshore wind energy is unlikely to reach its full potential unless there is additional support from the government. Well what a surprise.
The study says the fledgling industry is at a "critical stage" and economic and environmental opportunities could be lost without further assistance.
According to the article the study warns that "only about 2,000 MW is likely to be built without further support from the government" but then goes on to say "There is a huge amount of activity in the sector with more than 8,000 MW of schemes in development"
Confused - I certainly am.
Whatever lets hope that the government takes this sector seriously in its energy review and presumably offshore is better than onshore as it may keep the turbines further away from the nimbys.
