The UK is uniquely situated, geographically, as one of the best spots in the world to take advantage of wind energy. About 25% of the country's electricity comes from wind power. The major source of power generation in the UK is natural gas, which accounts for about 40%. In addition, gas is used to heat water and living spaces.

You just know that the people who create and circulate memes or cartoons like this on social media (before it gets regurgitated here) don't have a clue. Even if there's some truth in a cartoon like this, it only comes out that way by chance. If you create an assertion by randomly stringing together words and phrases from current news stories, there's always some chance that it's more true than false. The Infinite Monkey Theorem:

If someone were actually interested in the topic of that cartoon, they would find this YouTube video worth their time. It's more than 9 minutes for the entire presentation, but less than 10.
How could trading markets for Carbon Offsets be changed to better align with the goal of reducing carbon emissions as a climate mitigation strategy?

From the Jan De Nul Group: 2022 was the year when France, already a powerhouse of onshore wind energy, took the wind energy "game" offshore.
In France, onshore wind turbines have provided renewable energy for more than 20 years. There is almost 19 GW of capacity online, covering about 8% of the national electricity needs. These figures make the country one of the leaders in Europe in terms of onshore wind energy. But there is also a huge potential in offshore wind. With 11 million square kilometres of maritime area, France has the second largest maritime area in the world behind the United States. On 13 April 2022, we installed the very first wind turbine at the first offshore wind farm twelve km off the coast of the Guérande peninsula.

Maybe, but the UK is also getting into offshore wind. So the UK (perhaps) is a nation of internal contradictions.[This message has been edited by rinselberg (edited 01-31-2023).]

North Carolina v. EPA (2008), the D.C. Circuit struck down the EPA’s 2005 cap-and-trade program for being "arbitrary and capricious," "not otherwise in accordance with the law,"
Various private cap & trade / "carbon credit" hucksters and scam artists in the "greenie" shadow market haven't abated since then and generally act outside of the law.
Leftists cheer the scam because Leftists don't understand economics or law.[This message has been edited by randye (edited 01-31-2023).]
