The world is running out of wind.

The stilling: global wind speeds slowing since 1960
Few people have probably noticed, but the world’s winds are getting slower. It is something that cannot be picked up by watching the billowing of dust or listening to the rustle of leaves on nearby trees.Instead, it is a phenomenon occurring on a different scale, as the average global wind speed...

Yep, it's decreasing on average by 0.1% a year. By 2100 we might be down by 10%.The world is running out of wind.

"No Flying by 2050": Is the World Finally Waking Up to What Net Zero Really Means? – The Daily Sceptic
"No flying by 2050" – the reality of what Net Zero really means still seems to take people by surprise, but perhaps they are now starting to wake up, writes Professor Norman Fenton.

It's encouraging despite 'the UK’s investment in the energy transition fell by 10%, from $31bn to $28bn, from 2021 to 2022, while similar investment in the US rose by about 24% to $141bn, and in Germany by 17% to $55bn.
In the UK, renewable energy generation has been a mixed picture in recent years. Offshore wind has grown substantially, but onshore windfarms have been almost impossible to build in England since the planning laws were changed in 2015, while there has been hesitation over solar farms. The government has also refused to mandate solar panels on the roofs of new buildings.'
It's almost as if we have a government with no energy policy and therefore no plan.
Rather in the same way that we don't build enough houses
And have an inadequate NHS
And sewage in our rivers and seas.
Having read excerpts from Anthony Seldons' book 'Johnson at #10' i'd say no plan is the limit of their ambition. A bit OT, perhaps, but it links in to the under investment in Clean energy to help the UK become more self-sufficient in an efficient energy grid to ease the extortionate costs of electricity on the consumer.

Renewable energy projects worth billions stuck on hold

Lack of suitable infrastructure.

Have you got yearly figures? Those sites only ever show the current levels.
