I tell people this, but they don't believe me. Nevertheless, even I was surprised to see this in The Guardian today:
It's a map of where the UK is going to put vast arrays of wind turbines (each the size of the London Gherkin) to generate 25% of the country's electricity. In case you can't see that over there in the North Sea, it says:
So, a 3GW wind farm is being built in a Hornsea zone. Hastings is the only other town to get a zone named after it: the next one down is a county (Norfolk) and the rest are either islands (West of the Island of Wight) or the traditional names of sea areas.
Well, that should make for a spectacular sight out of my old bedroom window at my dad's house.
I told you it was windy...
