Alliance4Wind

                   Welcome to the Alliance4Wind Website !

                  Alliance4Wind is an environmental pro wind, proactive campaign group that supports wind farm applications.  We believe that when members of the public are given an opportunity and provided with substantiated and factually correct  information, the vast majority are in favour of wind power.

                We believe that wind power, both on and offshore must and will play a key role in the energy mix, along with other renewables, decentralised energy and energy efficiency 

               Wind power is the most developed of all of the renewables, it is also the most  easily implemented and the most cost  effective. Wind power is also able to deliver truly renewable and sustainable energy on a large scale. The UK has 40% of the European resource and on average our wind farms are twice as efficient as those in Europe, we have the potential to become a world class leader in wind farm technology. Despite this we are falling shamefully behind other countries when it comes to exploiting the power of the wind, in 2007, the US installed 12 times more wind capacity than the UK, Spain 8 times, China 8 times, India 4 times, Germany 4 times and France double. Germany has also reaped the rewards of going for wind power, creating hundreds of thousands of jobs, 7.4 billion Euros in wind industry exports and lower electricity prices as a result.

               The UK has a responsibility and a binding commitment to the Kyoto Protocol, the only international  agreement designed to address climate change and this responsibility has to be taken seriously.
