A lot of people from the countryside already feel under considerable assault from this Government, not least from their proposed change to the taxation of farms and so forth. Many communities are appalled at the prospect of their landscape being covered over by yet newer pylons and more storage capacity. That is to say nothing of the Government’s continuing refusal to address how offshore wind comes onshore in terms of interconnecting more of the power generated offshore to bring it onshore in fewer places, therefore reducing the necessity for more and more storage in different places around the countryside.
