UK fossil fuel use drops to lowest level since 1957::undefined
In electricity generation *. Probably not as good once you take all primary production into account, especially transportation.
However coal specifically is amazing. I thought “lowest consumption since 1757” was a typo, but it is not.
UK does pretty well for wind power.
7 of the top 10 offshore wind farms by capacity, and all of the top 5.
Of the 16 large farms currently being constructed worldwide, 5 of them are UK farms.
I read a while back that the UK and Ireland get over 40% of the wind that blows over Europe, so at least it’s being put to good use.
It’s nice to see efforts paying off. Things are going in the right direction but there’s still a lot more to do.
