【答案解析】British government cites Denmark as a role model and is determined to launch wind power project. It believes that renewable energy (mostly wind) is needed both to cut CO₂ emissions and to reach the government's own target of generating 10% of British electricity from renewable sources by 2010.
But the opponents argue that wind power is seriously flawed. The first big problem is that it is too expensive. And there are also the engineering problems. Too light a breeze means no power; too strong a gale, the turbines shut down to prevent damage. Thirdly, Britain's power grid is not set up for import, so conventional power stations would have to be kept running, ready to take up the load during calm periods.
