Wind power to provide energy for 300 million homes by 2050

Description

Nine European countries are holding a summit in Belgium aimed at scaling up wind-power generation in the North Sea, spurred by the fallout of the war in Ukraine and the push for renewable energy. Our science reporter Shirli Sitbon looks at why the North Sea is one of the world's leading maritime regions for wind farms, and at the impact they have had on biodiversity.
