“UK wind farm plans on brink of failure”:

A major threat to Britain’s ambitions for renewable energy will emerge this week when wind industry leaders admit that targets set for 2020 are looking increasingly unrealistic.
They will use a high-profile conference in London to warn Gordon Brown that there is little chance of achieving the government’s goal — of wind generating one third of all UK electricity within 12 years — without a huge injection of public money.
It comes as an Observer investigation reveals that planning delays, long delivery times, escalating costs, 10-year hold-ups in connection to the national grid and technical problems in building offshore windfarms all threaten to derail Brown’s ambitions. The result could be electricity shortages by 2020, failure to meet climate change and energy targets and possible hefty fines from Europe.

This is a pretty good preview of the article we’ll be reading in eight years or so as the 2016 election gets underway and the candidates are trying to explain why all the taxpayer money that went into wind projects was insufficient to accomplish the task.
