  Tories during 2015-2023 made construction of new onshore wind farms all but impossible (removed subsidies and made planning permissions very difficult). I would assume Labor could reverse these polices but haven't seen anything in news about this.

    And a lot of offshore was constructed during that period. So still claiming that we didn't build any wind power was false.
