You’re right, wind is largely offshore in the UK, though that’s really more a result of political opposition to onshore projects than anything else.

Like solar subsidies, wind subsidies are on the verge of being cut here. Here’s the Guardian’s story:

Since you are based in London I’m curious how you view recent changed in UK renewables policy affecting wind, which I understand is dominated by large, offshore projects.
