The 猛烈な/残忍な 勝利,勝つd of 嵐/襲撃する Kathleen?had an 予期しない 利益 as more than half the country's homes were 力/強力にするd by 勝利,勝つd-生成するd electricity - 二塁打 the normal 普通の/平均(する), This is Money can 明らかにする/漏らす.

勝利,勝つd 力/強力にする only made up 29.4 per cent of the UK's electricity mix in 2023.

The other main ways of 生成するing electricity are 燃やすing natural gas, coal, 水力電気 力/強力にする, solar and 燃やすing biomass.

The high 勝利,勝つd on 6 April meant only 8.2 per cent of the UK's electricity on the day (機の)カム from 燃やすing the 化石 燃料 natural gas, 負かす/撃墜する from the 2023 norm of 32 per cent.

Britain is fourth in the world when it comes to 勝利,勝つd 力/強力にする, behind 中国, the US and Germany. There are around 11,000 勝利,勝つd turbines in the UK, with half on land and half 沖合いの/海外の.

These turbines have the 可能性のある to 生成する 30 gigawatts of electricity, 供給するd there is enough 勝利,勝つd to 力/強力にする them. At 頂点(に達する) times the UK 要求するs around 60 gigawatts of electricity.

The 政府 計画(する)s to 増加する the 量 of electricity 勝利,勝つd turbines can create to 50 gigawatts by 2030.

Former 首相 David Cameron had 以前 停止(させる)d the construction of new onshore windfarms in 2015, with 現在の 首相 Rishi Sunak relaxing this in 2023, although very few onshore 勝利,勝つd farms are 現在/一般に 進行中で.

But England alone could create 13 times more green energy than 現在/一般に by using いっそう少なく than 3 per cent of its land, によれば researc h from Exeter University and Friends of the Earth.

The 研究員s said 96 terawatts of electricity could come from onshore 勝利,勝つd and another 130 terawatts from solar パネル盤s.

Tony Bosworth, 気候 選挙運動者 at Friends of the Earth, said: '抑えるのをやめるing the UK's 巨大な 可能性のある to 生成する cheap, clean homegrown renewables is 必須の to bring 負かす/撃墜する our energy 法案s for good and 会合 the UK's 決定的な international 的 to 減ずる 炭素 放出/発行s by two-thirds by 2030.?

'But the 現在の 政府's 記録,記録的な/記録する on 上げるing our energy 安全 through renewables is woefully 不十分な and has left the UK lagging far behind in the 全世界の race to a 無-炭素 economy.'

All the UK's coal-解雇する/砲火/射撃d 力/強力にする 駅/配置するs are 予定 to be shut 負かす/撃墜する by the end of 2024.
