It's worth noting that the UK has now started developing very large scale off shore wind systems. You are right though - there has been massive deindustrialization and especially a shift from processing of raw material into intermediate forms. For example steel manufacturing in the UK is only for specialist products.

Offshore wind has been growing quickly for 20 years. Deindustrialisation started in the 80s. None of this is new, really.

Well, nothing is new under the sun!

There has been an inflection on off shore wind since 2018; approximately double the amount came on stream then vs any previous year and this has been sustained.
