Farming Today - Farming Today This Week

On Farming Today This Week, Caz Graham visits a Derbyshire farm to investigate how the UK is going to meet its target of producing 15% of energy from renewable sources by 2020. This UK has enormous wind, wave and tidal power - more than enough to meet all of our energy needs many times over according to Friends of the Earth. So just how much renewable energy is the UK producing? Latest Government figures show we're currently producing only at 3%. Wind power for example provides enough electricity to supply close to 3 million homes in the UK every year. But we are behind many of our European counterparts - Germany for example has built more than ten times our wind farm capacity. Presented by Caz Graham and produced by Anna Varle.
