A new record - on 5 December wind power produced enough electricity for 3/4 of UK homes
At 23.8GW it meant that even during winter peak demand, it was still providing nearly half the country's power needs
Still a way to go though....

Brits lose faith as political leaders fail to grasp the climate crisis–and the media lets them get away with it
Survey shows only 30% trust leaders’ climate decisions, with overwhelming majorities saying politicians have the wrong priorities and the media is failing in its watchdog duties

Without wind power the country would’ve imported & burned over 20 million tonnes of gas over the last 25 years.
