Episode description
The government claims the UK is on track to meet its clean power targets for 2030 following a record offshore wind auction.
However, in a world where the price of so many things is going up, it turns out wind is no exception.
Energy secretary Ed Miliband hopes the UK’s reliance on natural gas will be gone with the wind - but are consumers willing to pay the price?
Niall is joined by Sky’s business correspondent Paul Kelso.
