A spokesman for the Department of Energy and Climate Change said: "It's a fallacy to suggest we're putting all our eggs in one basket. Onshore wind has an important role to play but we have also recently become the leading country in the world for generating wind energy offshore. Our energy policy is about driving more of both, alongside small scale renewables, biomass, wave and tidal. All of this is in addition to the new nuclear build programme that is taking shape in the UK and our efforts to bring on clean coal technology. A diverse electricity mix is what we have now, and that's what we want for the future."
