Conservatives opposition undermining projects and investment in renewables, say wind energy companies
Conservative MPs are much more likely to oppose onshore windfarms than the national average of the public, a new poll has found.
About four out of five Tory MPs are likely to oppose onshore windfarms in their constituency, according to the poll conducted by ComRes on behalf of REG Windpower. But about six in 10 people across the country, and just over half of those eligible to vote in rural areas, favour onshore windfarms, even if built near them.
