Fluke commentary tends to focus on issues at the national rather than international level. If I lived in - say - Morocco, I would be considerably more excited about the potential of solar PV. But for the UK, wind power
On-shore wind generation
Although now ubiquitous across the country, a cursory examination of the List of onshore wind farms on Wikipedia reveal on-shore wind farms in the UK were/are:
- Relatively small developments (single figures to a few dozen wind-turbines)
- Relatively low capacity (many <10MW; most <100MW)
- Construction dates in 1990's or 2000's
DTI on-shore wind speed database
