    Starting an M.Sc. in Sustainable Energy next year. Plan B has started, incorporating parts of Plan A.

    I have a great deal of interest in the area. I firmly believe that being beholden to other nations, for our power, is folly.

    I do, however, love the irony of Nimbyism

        Thanks.

        Are you involved in the building of onshore, or offshore? I guess your name indicates the latter, or are you more holistically involved in it all?

          Diver - question on the subsidies you quote for windfarms - do they cover the ongoing energy price subsidy (ROCs?) or is it just the subsidies to build?

          And I have 12+ years experience in the power generation industry - I'm sure people can guess the main area from my username!
