At the same time, the UK Parliament has approved stringent new measures to reduce carbon emissions by 2020, with the biggest CO2 cuts by far to come from an increase of more than 800% in offshore wind power over the next seven years. But offshore wind power is so expensive that it will receive at least three times the traded cost of regular electricity in subsidies – more than even solar power, which was never at an advantage in the UK.
与此同时，英国国会批准了严格的新措施，以便在2020年前减少碳排放，目前，最大的二氧化碳削减项来自未来七年将离岸风能电力增加800%以上的计划。但离岸风电价格昂贵，以至于其补贴至少是常规电力交易成本的三倍，甚至比太阳能电力还高，而后者在英国从未获得优势。对于最小二氧化碳减排目标，英国将付出沉重代价。
