Export plan for wind energy dumped

Wind turbines technology ‘intrusive, divisive, and not effective’, says protester.

Windfarm opponents have welcomed the scrapping of a wind energy export plan that would have seen the construction of more than 1,000 turbines in the midlands to provide power to Britain.

They pledged to continue their fight against proposed windfarms in other locations and say they are not convinced the midlands project will not re-emerge.
