Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/7ba36d/is_the_uk_overemph) has announced the addition of GlobalData's new report "Is the UK Overemphasizing Offshore Wind" to their offering.

The UK is on the brink of a green energy revolution. The year 2008 is a big year of ecological decision-making for the UK Government, as the country’s EU renewable energy target dates of 2010 and 2020 are fast approaching. In two years time, the UK has a target to generate 10% of its electricity needs from green sources. In order to achieve these targets, the UK has opted for offshore wind as the potential source. The UK has the largest offshore wind potential worldwide, with relatively shallow waters and a strong wind resource extending far into the North Sea. It has been estimated that UK has over 33% of the total European potential offshore wind resources.
