United Kingdom is the fourth album by American Music Club. It was recorded primarily for the UK, where the band had a larger following than in their native USA, and consists of a mixture of studio and live tracks. The LP was produced by Tom Mallon who also produced the band's previous three LPs, The Restless Stranger, Engine and California. United Kingdom contained the song "Kathleen", the most obvious of many that Mark Eitzel has composed about his long-term muse, Kathleen Burns.
Wind farms consist of many individual wind turbines which are connected to the electric power transmission network. Onshore wind is an inexpensive source of electricity, competitive with or in many places cheaper than coal or gas plants. Offshore wind is steadier and stronger than on land, and offshore farms have less visual impact, but construction and maintenance costs are considerably higher. Small onshore wind farms can feed some energy into the grid or provide electricity to isolated off-grid locations.
The period began with the newly formed United Kingdom defeating the French Empire in 1814 in the Napoleonic Wars. As a direct result of this, the British Empire became the foremost world power for the next century. Great Britain and the northeast of Ireland industrialised rapidly, whereas the rest of Ireland did not, deepening economic and social disparities between them. A devastating famine, exacerbated by government inaction in the mid-19th century, led to demographic collapse in much of Ireland, and increased calls for Irish land reform and the devolution of executive power. During and after the Great War, the rise of Irish nationalism and physical force republicanism eventually culminated in the Irish War of Independence, and in 1922 the partition of Ireland between the newly founded Irish Free State and the northeast, which opted to remain part of the United Kingdom as Northern Ireland.
A comedic group, known as the World Showcase Players, used to perform humorous and interactive versions of "King Arthur and the Holy Grail" and "Romeo and Juliet" (renamed "Romeo and Edna").

Wine from the United Kingdom is generally classified as either English wine or Welsh wine, with reference to England or Wales as its respective origin.
The term British wine is used for fermented grape juice or concentrate that can originate from anywhere in the world.
Traditionally seen as struggling with an unhelpfully cold climate, the English and Welsh wine industry has been helped by the warmer British summers over recent years and it is speculated that global warming may encourage major growth in the future.
The United Kingdom is a major consumer, but only a very minor producer of wine, with English and Welsh wine sales combined accounting for just 1% of the domestic market.
In recent years, English sparkling wine has started to emerge as the UK wine style receiving the most attention. Theale Vineyard Sparkling Chardonnay 2003 beat off stiff competition from fine Champagnes and top sparkling wines to make it into the world’s Top Ten Sparkling Wine at the world’s only dedicated sparkling wine competition, French-based Effervescents du Monde (sparkling wines of the world) 2007.

Why is Scotland leading the UK in renewable energy? | ITV News
In the quest to go green, Scotland is way ahead of the rest of the UK, with nearly all electricity produced by wind power.
In October, 98% of Scotland's electricity was produced by wind turbines, with the devolved government on track to produce all of its electricity from renewable sources by 2020.
But what is it about Scotland that makes it so much more successful at being green than the rest of the UK?

On 20 September 2019 the UK’s third round of Contracts for Difference were announced, with strike prices that represent a 66% reduction in the cost of offshore wind since the first CfDs were awarded in 2015. Welcoming the news, RenewableUK CEO Hugh McNeal said, “Offshore wind will be the backbone of the UK’s clean, modern energy system and will supply at least a third of our power by 2030.”
This is the goal that has driven the development of the UK offshore wind sector deal, launched in March 2019 to formalise the Government’s commitment to offshore wind. The deal is far-reaching, drawing together ambitions for inclusivity, skills growth,...

Wind Energy in the UK
As the supply of fossil fuels decreases and the price of energy increases many people in the UK are worried about becoming "fuel poor" and not being able to afford their energy bills. How is the UK going to deal with its energy crisis?
In this documentary I will look into wind energy as an alternative energy source and evaluate if wind farms are the solution to our energy crisis. I will analyse the debate surrounding wind farms, from the perspective of different stakeholders, and suggest some recommendations.

On 20 September 2019 the UK’s third round of Contracts for Difference were announced, with strike prices that represent a 66% reduction in the cost of offshore wind since the first CfDs were awarded in 2015. Welcoming the news, RenewableUK CEO Hugh McNeal said, “Offshore wind will be the backbone of the UK’s clean, modern energy system and will supply at least a third of our power by 2030.”
This is the goal that has driven the development of the UK offshore wind sector deal, launched in March 2019 to formalise the Government’s commitment to offshore wind. The deal is far-reaching, drawing together ambitions for inclusivity, skills growth, regeneration, infrastructure, enterprise and exports. The scale of collaboration between Government, supply chain partners and industry/community groups has galvanised an already eager and energetic sector, underpinned the investability of new and future projects and signalled the UK’s determination to consolidate its place as a leading player in the global sector as it develops.
The sector is expecting to employ 27,000 people. Over the next decade, students currently being educated in schools, colleges and universities will join apprentices and experts from other sectors bringing their skills to create a diverse, exciting workforce.
Organisations specialising in innovation will be able to help make the industry a success with a £65b R&D investment. And companies that demonstrate their value within a strong, joined-up supply chain will grow their businesses both here in the UK and abroad.
“We are incredibly excited about the sector deal. We want to see increased UK content and a fivefold increase in exports and we want companies who can deliver that. We, along with our colleagues in BEIS, are keen to see a very good shop front for offshore wind in the UK. (Karl)
Coastal communities can join the towns and cities already reinvigorated by a sector that is harmonised with their maritime heritage.
And consumers will benefit from a highly investible industry and sustainable delivery systems.
