The government has given the go-ahead this week for an ambitious programme of offshore wind farms to be developed around the UK coastline. Under plans announced by the Secretary for State and Industry, Patricia Hewitt, 1 in 6 households will be powered by energy harnessed from wind power by 2010. That's equivalent to every home in the south-east of England.
