The future of wind power in the U.K. Take a look see...

The North Sea has winds often exceeding 90 mph and is therefore ideal for the generation of wind power. Hundreds of wind turbines produce now electricity off the coast of the North Sea and send it onshore to connect with grids and power homes and businesses in the United Kingdom, Germany and Denmark. Thousands more are planned for the next 15 years, and it would seem that bigger will be better as far as wind turbine makers are concerned. The U.K. government aims to install 32GW in offshore wind capacity between 2015 and 2025. That’s more than 10 times the offshore capacity currently installed in the entire world. The U.K. Carbon Trust estimates the offshore wind market will be worth $52 billion by 2020.
