Summary
Renewable energy is already delivering electricity to millions of people worldwide, providing and sustaining hundreds of thousands of jobs. The UK has the best assests for developping wind, offshore wind and wave in Europe. Yet despite the existing successes of the technologies, there are still those who say that renewables cannot deliver on large scale. Critics hold that the UK cannot replace nuclear power and fossil fuels, that it cannot develop fast of enough to play a significant role in meeting the country's electricity demand. This study by AEA Technology puts paid to that argument.
