Ed Miliband: ‘Britain’s heat pump take-up is absolutely miserable’

The Telegraph  

Ed Miliband has committed to scrapping a ban on building new onshore wind farms if Labour claims victory at the general election. “The onshore wind ban was a deeply unfair measure… and we want to lift it,” Mr Miliband told the Telegraph. Mr Miliband said: “People have different views on the onshore wind ban but we’re going to lift it. And we’re going to get the fairness thing right.” The zoning system in Wales means vast tracts of countryside have been deemed suitable for wind farms, whatever locals might think. “We’ll obviously want to work with local authorities on this but we do want to lift this ban.” Onshore wind turbines are just one means by which Labour hopes to decarbonise the UK’s electricity supply by 2030.
