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.

    People don’t want power lines, solar panels, coal plants, wind turbines, etc. But of course they all want electricity. It just doesn’t make sense.

      Look, I get my internet through the air, why can’t you send my electricity through the air?
