The UK is going to reduce its carbon emissions by eighty percent by 2020, compared to 1990 levels - according to the government. In spite of this statement, UK people are questioning their government's dedication to wind power.
Wallstreetpit.com has recently published an article that claims the wind power projects owned by BP in the UK, Turkey, China and India will shut down and BP will refocus its energy on the US. This same article suggests that thirty percent of the UK's energy supply will come from wind power. Readers are wondering why the government is letting BP move their wind power projects to the US when they claim to be focusing on green energy sources like windfarms.
The Guardian website included an article that touted Great Britain as one of the world's premier locations for the development of wind technology. Great Britain's wind technology popularity comes from its long coastline and the winds that have become famous around the globe.
The article goes on to say that a Vattenfall and Iberdola Renovables new partnership will lead to a new United Kingdom-based windfarm. The building of this windfarm is estimated at 780m pounds and energy output is expected to be 300MW. Is this windfarm allowed because BP has refocused its attention? Why is private enterprise taking over an industry that the government claims to be invested in using?
More criticism has been lodged about the funding and difficult to understand planning that the government will need if it does, indeed, plan to invest so much of its attention to green energy. If wind farms are supposed to be responsible for thirty percent of the United Kingdom's energy supply, a large number of farms will need to be constructed to keep up with the energy demand. An independent group, The Carbon Trust, estimates that the building of these windfarms will need to speed up considerably and, at the same time; the project budget will need to cut about sixteen billion pounds from its original projections. A website called Redgreenandblue.com says that only twenty five percent of the windfarms the UK needs will actually be constructed by the self imposed 2020 deadline.
Not only experts, but also most public opinions in the United Kingdom agree that renewable energy and not the current power grid is the future of energy production for the country. Green energy costs less money in the long run and is better for the globe than the current power grid system. Unfortunately, because of the shortfalls, British people should ask how committed the UK government really is to green energy. If the government truly wants to implement wind energy, why is the project budget being reduced? What is keeping the 2020 goal from happening? - 16069
