I’m sure all of those windmills will make up for it, yeah. And I guess they’ll have to attach huge new taxes on electricity and cars. Not only can most people not afford the electric car, they won’t be able to afford lights.

“Offshore wind cost £120/MWh in 2018 with new installations forecasting a lower cost of £58/MWh (5.8p/kWh) in 2022.”

“Onshore wind costs just £65/MWh now and forecasted at £46/MWh in 2022 (4.6p/kWh).”

“Wind energy generates 14.8% of all electricity in the UK.”

“40% of all wind energy generated over Europe blows over the UK.”

A pound(£) is worth about about $1.41 and a typical US wholesale electricity price is about $20/MWh. The UK is looking to pay about three/four times as much for electricity from future onshore/offshore wind power installations.
