Missing information

I recall a single experimental wind turbine located near the North Yorkshire coast about 30 years ago well before the current boom. I came here looking for some more information on that but couldn't find anything in the history section even though it must have been one of the very first in the UK.

Early History

This article misses out on the rich early history of UK's involvement in wind. Would suggest at least some reference to Wind Energy Group: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NVpNTOyceu0 Davagh (talk) 08:16, 1 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Onshore wind planning regulation removal

It seems like the Chancellor is planning to remove those extra planning regulations on onshore wind developments.
