Climate Change
The evidence is undeniable. Climate change and the consequences of global warming are a reality. It is already having major adverse effects on water supplies, wildlife, agriculture and sea levels.
The impact on the UK climate is already evident and scientists predict extreme weather effects from hotter, drier summers to increased gales, floods and much colder winters.
Given the depleting global resources of fossil fuels, the current growth in energy consumption can only be met by increased energy efficiency measures and new, modern forms of power generation. Simply put, time is running out and there is an increasing urgency to shift our reliance to a source of power that is sustainable, local and planet-friendly.
Wind energy is currently the only large scale economically viable renewable energy generation method to start the battle against climate change. Wind energy provides renewable energy from a never ending resource, and in its generation does not produce carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, causing climate change and more turbulent weather.
