All UK homes could be powered by offshore wind farms by 2020 as part of the fight against climate change, under plans being unveiled by John Hutton.
We've all heard about this latest manifestation of energy policy, but what I focus in on is:
"There is the potential, we believe, out there, using the resources that there are around the UK to generate maybe all of the electricity that households need ... from offshore wind sources," he said.

And, that no one can think of any other measure of the success of a windfarm development - like, say, how much thermal capacity will be shut down due to this development.
I fear there will never be any thermal shut down by any or all the wind installations.
