Labour lifts Tories’ ‘absurd’ ban on onshore windfarms
www.theguardian.com
Rachel Reeves says she will revise planning policy and decisions should be taken ‘nationally, not locally’

And while the Greens are doing what they do best (opposing green development), the Labour government has already lifted the Tory ban on onshore windfarms.

This is odd, because Labour are the same as the Tories, as we all know, and the Greens are a radical new force. But in this case, Labour are doing the direct opposite of the Tories, while the Greens are doing the same things the Tories did! Most curious.

EDIT: Here’s the official government statement confirming this.

EDIT 2: And this isn’t all! Rachel Reeves is also planning to do more to make onshore wind simpler to build.

    Ash only once when the filters failed. You’d occasionally get “power station frost”. If the wind was in the right direction on freezing days moisture from the cooling towers would freeze to give a 100m wide avenue of thick haw frost. There’s a lot of big transmission lines that aren’t pretty and buzz when it rains. (wind/solar don’t need lines this big)
