They effectively banned onshore wind for a decade in England just as it became the cheapest source of electricity available to them.
It's neat how right-wing sabotage feeds ino the next cycle of propaganda to support more sabotage.
Or maybe if not for wind their electricity would be even more expensive.

There's plenty of data.

The interesting part is that 130 Billion of the savings were in reduced gas prices as it reduced demand, particularly in winter, and freed up gas storage.
And this is depsite an effective ban on constructing onshore wind in England from June 2015, more than half the 2010 to 2023 time period studied.
