Save Wind energy subsidies
Dear Minister
The UK has huge potential for wind power to replace polluting coal-fired stations and ageing nuclear, both onshore and offshore, it represents our best hope of meeting our emissions targets. Please don't listen to the well-organised and funded campaign to cut subsidies to wind power. As an alternative, you could cut subsidies to coal and gas, both contributing to CO2 and in need of phasing out.

Why is this important?
There is an organised campaign to email the minister to cut subsidies to wind just when we need to expand development and installation of this clean energy source. Nimbys across the UK will be adding their voices to make this appear like it has large support, but it doesn't and we need to show the minister that the majority want wind energy to be expanded, and for subsidies to be retained. The Nimby rentacrowd is on the case, we need to oppose them as strongly as possible if we are not to further lag behind the rest of Europe and the world in switching to renewable energy.
