Onshore wind is among the fastest and cheapest renewables we can deploy, and uniquely suited to community ownership.
After years of political delay, we need policy that enables local generation rather than suppressing it.

This is also what Yvette Cooper, when she was UK Home Secretary, said about #PalestineAction. If you knew the secret stuff I know, you'd agree with me that they're terrorists. It's the cheapest and basest way for a politician to malign someone, and a clear sign of a flailing, undemocratic state.
