UK overtakes Denmark as world's biggest offshore wind generator

This is good news in that it shows a step forward, UK overtakes Denmark as world's biggest offshore wind generator | Environment | guardian.co.uk However, we should notice that it is quite a restricted area that is being reported. The other side of the matter is this, however: "despite today's announcement, the UK is still near the bottom of the European league table when it comes to harnessing renewable energy, campaigners say."
Still, we, as a nation, really ought to be one of the highest in usage of offshore wind power, so this really is important. The vital thing is not to let it lull us into thinking we've done our bit already.
