Are offshore wind farms the best way for Dorset to tackle climate emergency?
DORSET Council has not ruled out support for wind farms off the county’s coastline – although it says that any future application will be decided at government level.
Climate campaigners say the only realistic way for Dorset to reduce net carbon dioxide emissions to zero as quickly as possible is to back offshore wind schemes on the scale of the previously proposed Navitus Bay project in Bournemouth Bay.
The controversial Navitus Bay project was rejected by the government in 2015 after years of campaigning and opposition, including from MPs and the now extinct borough councils in the area.
