Very important topic, but sounds as though it's based on a press release and a couple of phone calls. Europe and specifically Germany seem to provide "context" but the real context--how much of Britain's energy will be replaced, will there be cost savings and when--is missing. Also would have been nice to see a table of countries showing the number of windfarms built/planned.
A lot of referenced stats make this, if not dramatic writing, a valuable read that hands the interested reader numbers and less obvious facts that upgrade one's understanding of the issue. It is very focused and is not weakened in its mission to inform by distracting political rhetoric.
