The transport secretary told Sky News’s Sunday Ridge show that onshore wind farms are “eyes” and are damaging the environment, adding that he personally does not favor “a huge increase” in their numbers. It was reported that Business Minister Kwasi Kwarteng wanted to double onshore wind energy by 2030 and triple it by 2035. On Sunday, Downing Street said any decisions about offshore wind “will always be subject to the consent of local authorities”.

The onshore wind farms “one eye” In anticipation of the government’s energy strategy to be unveiled next week, Mr Saps told Sky News that the government would “look for a larger mix to produce our energy”, adding: “You can expect to see more nuclear reactors, nuclear energy”. Asked if planning laws need to be relaxed to allow more onshore wind farms, the transport secretary said: communities as well as real noise problems. “Therefore, I think that for reasons of environmental protection, the way it should be followed is largely, not entirely, but largely offshore.” Read more: Rising gas prices point to more onshore winds Pressing whether this means that the idea of a large increase in the number of onshore wind farms is virtually out of the question at the moment, he added: “I urge you to wait for the energy strategy later this week. “But my thought is that what you really want to do is grow in other ways – nuclear, we will have offshore wind energy. I do not think you want a huge extension of the land wind. “There may be cases where it makes sense, but I think in general we have found … that offshore works very well. And by the way, it already provides enough of our electricity.”
Energy infrastructure projects will come too late to help raise bills

Political correspondent @robpowellnews The government’s long-awaited energy strategy has the potential to kill two birds with one stone. Not only is pushing for renewable energy crucial to reducing carbon emissions, but it is also an important part of overcoming dependence on overseas energy, especially from countries like Russia. However, this does not mean that it is not a difficult political area, as the delays that led to this document show.
First, there is the money – with tensions over the cost of building nuclear reactors and concerns about the tax black hole left by the transition to electric vehicles. Next, there is concern about the local impact of building objects such as turbines. A deliberate move toward more wind on land seems to have stalled amid controversy in the cabinet and concerns about the electoral impact of a possible turbine explosion on the green and pleasant lands of the Tories. But the biggest risk is how quickly all these major infrastructure projects will be implemented. For all of Boris Johnson’s supportive initiatives, it will certainly come too late to help with current spiral energy bills. The political danger facing the government is that it is going to the next election with expensive plans for cheaper green energy in the future, but little to help families cope with the rising costs right now. “More nuclear energy” is expected in the energy plan It comes as The Sunday Telegraph reports that Boris Johnson is preparing to announce plans to extend the government’s commitment to new nuclear power plants this decade. A spokesman for Number 10 said: “Next week we will develop an ambitious plan to increase the use of a variety of renewable energy sources, including offshore wind, solar and hydrogen – all backed by nuclear and ongoing oil and natural gas support. in the North Sea. “ Shadow operations secretary Jonathan Reynolds told Sky News Ridge on Sunday that the Labor Party was supporting more investment in nuclear power to help reduce the rising cost of household bills. He said: “We are really supporting more nuclear power in the system in parallel with this development of renewable energy sources. “I think the risk is that, frankly, individual nuclear reactor outsourcing decisions depend on the price you can get – it can be very costly if you have not been able to get the right deal and the right private partners. that.” Use the Chrome browser for a more accessible video player 3:10 New sources of cheap energy are needed Labor “supports more nuclear” Meanwhile, following previous remarks by Mr Saps, Conservative MP Alicia Cairns described herself as “probably one of the only people in the country who thinks the wind on land can be very beautiful in its own way”. . Speaking to Sky News, Ms Kearns emphasized the need for the UK to “clean up” its energy supply chains, adding: “I will not have blood-stained panels substantially polluting our environment.” Writing in The Sunday Telegraph, Kwarteng acknowledged that while he would be comfortable living next to a number of wind turbines, this would not undo any local controversy. “It’s not in my hands, it does not matter what I think,” he said. “If there is a plan in a particular community, what matters is what they believe. It is not my aesthetic preference that will determine it.” Use the Chrome browser for a more accessible video player 2:34 Families are curled up by the hiking bills Calls for action to reduce rapid energy bills Earlier this week, lawmakers urged the government to take action to reduce energy bills for retirees and other vulnerable groups.
