Rewiring Britain: The Race to Go Green
With huge clean energy projects stirring anger across Britain, Justin Rowlatt meets the people taking sides in the battle over rewiring Britain.
Huge clean energy projects are stirring anger across Britain. The government says new pylons, solar plants, wind turbines and electricity substations are essential to meet its bold plan to decarbonise the country鈥檚 electricity by 2030. It says it will 'streamline' the planning process to get these projects through quickly and help get the economy growing. But many protestors say that鈥檚 just a way to guarantee their objections are ignored. Should national targets trump local opposition, and who will ultimately win?
For Panorama, Justin Rowlatt meets protestors, energy secretary Ed Miliband and Oscar-nominated actor Ralph Fiennes, who are all taking sides in the battle over rewiring Britain.
