I was very interested to hear the comments by the CPRE representative today at the Climate Change hearing of the Local Plan’s EiP: “There is no evidence to show that wind and solar reduced CO2”. Apparently, this is because it is not possible to control the “fuel” and that the power output is not “dispatchable”.
If true, this must be alarming news, not only to companies setting up wind farms and solar panel sites, but also to the government which is committed to significantly reducing carbon emissions by 2025.
