“The slow pace of the shift away from fossil fuels is evidence of their compelling advantages in terms of cost and convenience. Tackling the threat of catastrophic climate change cannot rely on wind and solar power alone but requires multiple changes, including a shift within fossil fuels away from coal towards gas.”

The world’s biggest offshore windfarm opened, marking “an important milestone for the UK.” Grouped in 8 rows, the Thanet windfarm’s 100 turbines are spread over 35 square kilometers. The new windfarm generates 300MW, enough power for 200,000 homes. The opening means the UK now “generates more power from offshore wind than the rest of the world put together.”
