The jobs generated by the proposed expansion of wind energy are likely to go to overseas workers. Other critics point to the closure of the wind turbine manufacturing plant on the Isle of Wight last year, which cost 600 employees their jobs, as further evidence that the Government is not supporting renewable energy. Nevertheless some momentum is building around solar energy: companies such as SolarUK are receiving plenty of calls from homeowners who are attracted by the new feed-in tariffs for photovoltaics (and for the renewable heat incentive which applies to solar hot water, though this does not come into force until next year). Meanwhile, it has been announced that construction has started on a Green Energy Training Centre in Merseyside, part-funded by two local companies.
