Paradoxically, the UK made it harder to build on-shore wind turbines, resulting in the UK having the largest offshore wind capacity in the world. Calling the UK "the Saudi Arabia of wind" is perhaps a bit silly, but it's an interesting example of how regulatory actions can't be examined in isolation.
