Part of Dartington's Great Debates series, held at Dartington Hall in association with TRESOC on 18 June 2012 Can the UK achieve its targets for onshore wind energy in view of resistance applied at local planning level? The Department for Energy and Climate Change says: “Wind will be a key component in meeting the UK’s 2020 target for energy from renewable sources, and onshore wind could deliver around 15% of the total”. Local communities have a major role to play in making this happen.
