Spain to have offshore wind farms
Spain is already the world’s second largest producer of wind power. And is hoping to increase their reliance of this by passing a new law which will allow wind farms to be placed along the 4000 miles of coast line that makes up three sides of the country.
Spain already has more than 400 wind farms and 12,000 wind turbines on the mainland; these generate around eight per cent of the country’s total electrical consumption. This is about six million homes and actually reduces the country’s carbon emissions by 9.2 million tons.
