The UK has 5 wind farms under construction with a capacity of 5125 MW and 4 proposed wind farms with a capacity of 5454 MW (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_offshore_wind_farms_in_the_United_Kingdom#Wind_farms_under_construction https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_offshore_wind_farms_in...). There has also been an increase in solar farm applications (https://www.theguardian.com/business/2021/jun/28/solar-farm-proposals-for-east-of-england-more-than-double https://www.theguardian.com/business/2021/jun/28/solar-farm-...).

Democracy is the way to go, yet sucks for long term projects. Especially expensive ones. The currwnt government gets all the complaints (new taxes or debt), someone else gets the reward.
