Scotland plans emergency wind energy talks
Edinburgh, Scotland (UPI) Jun 29, 2015
Scotland announced plans to hold an emergency summit in early July to discuss a British decision to end government support for the onshore wind industry. Scottish Energy Minister Fergus Ewing said British ministers need to "clarify the position regarding onshore wind projects already in the pipeline, and how many of them can expect to continue to receive investment during the grace period before funding is cut off." London said $1.2 billion in government support last year helped onshore ... read more
