There are varying views on how to create jobs but the UK or in Estonia

There are varying views on how to create jobs but the UK has a blind spot for the opportunities in offshore windpower.
"Wednesday's report also found that the amount of investment needed to exploit gas reserves – about £32bn – would be enough to build 2,300 offshore wind turbines, which would produce enough renewable energy to meet government targets. Shale gas exploration also supports fewer jobs than renewable energy generation – hundreds of thousands of jobs could be created in offshore wind, solar power and other green energy, but drilling shale gas wells requires minimal manpower."
