This is an interesting piece from the BBC about a government energy review:
"The government's energy review, which aims to boost the portion of UK power generated from sources such as wind, tides and biomass to 20% by 2020."
There's a lot of focus, quite rightly, on wind farms. I spotted an article the other days taht said up to 90% of electricity in the US could be generated by coastal wind farms. I know that you can prove anything with stats but it does seem like they're becoming more acceptable.

"There is as much wind power potential (900,000 megawatts) off our coasts as the current capacity of all power plants in the United States combined, according to a new report entitled, A Framework for Offshore Wind Energy Development in the United States, sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy, Massachusetts Technology Collaborative, and General Electric."

And for anyone foolish enough to think that wind turbines are ugly, how about this:

Off-shore, floating farms of wind turbines :)
