The fairy tale of cheap wind energy is falling apart.

Whether at sea or, even worse, on land, wind-powered electricity turbines are not simply inefficient and horrendously expensive — they threaten Britain’s entire energy programme.

Yet a blinkered group of Tory rebels, backed by a dodgy European consortium funded in part by extremists from the Extinction Rebellion anti-capitalist movement, has hounded Rishi Sunak into overturning the ban on new onshore wind farms.

In doing so, the Prime Minister has broken a key pledge he made to the Tory grassroots when he was running to be party leader.
