Electricity produced by onshore wind turbines is six times cheaper than gas.
So why is power expensive ?
Prices set by the most expensive power source that needs to be used at any given time. And that is usually gas.

NEW: Global EV sales grew 18% year-on-year in Jan 2025

Was this due to the "devastating collapse" of 21% growth in Europe?

The "stalling" 12% growth in China?

Maybe the "plunging" 22% rise in US/Canada?

Or "faltering" 50% rest-of-world growth…?

For Nature, it's not great news. For those of us who care, we need to keep the faith that we can turn things around.
The RSPB estimate 38 million birds have vanished from UK skies in the past 60 years. But it's not just birds that have vanished.

Our children may think today's numbers of birds, mammals & insects is normal. But as Mike Mayhew tells us, it's really not.

Renewable energy now makes up nearly half of EU energy generation, up from about a third in 2019, when the European Green Deal became law.

Another 24% of its power comes from nuclear, meaning that nearly three-quarters of the EU’s power is now carbon-free!
