Over the weekend Mark Simmonds, Conservative Member of Parliament for the Boston and Skegness constituency in Lincolnshire, eastern England, made public a letter he sent to the UK environment minister John Hayes, calling RWE’s plans “unreasonable”.
Hayes, a fellow Conservative, is known within the British renewables industry for his own antagonistic views towards onshore wind.
While acknowledging that wind power “has a role to play” in the UK’s energy mix, Simmonds bemoans that his constituency seems to be “consistently targeted” for projects and the “inevitable infrastructure” they entail.
