Abstract
This paper discusses the advantages and challenges of developing offshore wind energy sources for the UK. A revolution that will deliver energy to this generation, and the next, and the next is the one that is indigenous and secure, and where the fuel is free. The new grid needed for 2020 is a strategic, economic highway and it should be built now. At a time of rising input costs it must be more vocal about the local long term economic benefits of wind.
