Try reading my comment in its full context instead of cherrypicking the parts you want. The NIMBYism I refer to is the explicit ability of a single complaint to kill an onshore wind farm. What you link to is the general planning issue that plagues the UK but doesn't automatically kill a planning application. Starmer specifically talks about the planning system in his interview at the Future of Britain conference. > It got a whole bunch of wind turbines built with far less NIMBY problems than before That could have happened anyway, except we'd also be further ahead in at least some onshore wind, too. > Yeah, which is the whole reason that talking point about how the cancelled onshore wind was enough to replace all the gas that the UK imported from Russia was deceptive and meaningless. Nobody in any government or energy sector claimed this. And no, don't waste your time citing a Tory source because they've made a lot of verifiably nonsense claims on energy security in the past 18 months, so they're not a reliable source.
