The UK is investing so much in Wind Farms,
. . . that it is now the world leader.
The cost of electricity from wind power has fallen to
. . . $50 per megawatt hour on average worldwide, without subsidies,
. . . 1/2 the cost of coal, and
. . . cheaper than nuclear power per megawatt hour.

The largest offshore wind farm on Earth is the UK’s London Array, a massive site of
.. . 175 turbines in the outer Thames estuary. Up to
. . . 5.2GW of electricity are provided by the country’s offshore turbines,
. . . almost as much as the rest of Europe’s sea-based wind farms put together.
