The problem is once again our godawful prior government. Many tens of thousands of jobs in the wind industry have vanished over the last years [1] because the Conservatives oppose renewable power and impeded it wherever possible - if it is because of corruption, incompetence, fear of the far-right that outright demonizes anything not fossil or nuclear I don't know. In any case, we simply don't have the staff to visit literally thousands of wind turbines, a lot of which are actually offshore, simply to replace routers.

This situation is an unbelievable clusterfuck.
