Britain produced a record amount of wind-powered electricity in 2022, the National Grid revealed today.
And more electricity came from renewable and nuclear power sources than from fossil fuels gas and coal.
Replacing fossil fuels with green power is a core way for the world to tackle the impact of climate change.
Sources like wind and solar are also significantly cheaper and should lead to cheaper bills in the long-run.
Scientists, governments and the UN say switching to renewable power is crucial as the effects of global warming are already being felt, including in the UK, which last year recorded its hottest year since records began.
Gas remained the single most significant source of electricity last year, the National Grid Electricity System Operator (ESO) said, but electricity from wind turbines continued to grow in importance.
Renewable and nuclear power
Overall 48.5% of electricity came from renewable and nuclear power, compared to 40% from gas and coal power stations.
On a single day in November, more than 70% of electricity was produced by wind, or around 20GW.
That record was again broken on December 30 when 20.918GW was generated by wind turbines.
And the use of coal - the most-polluting fossil fuel - continued to fall.
In 2022 it generated just 1.5% of electricity compared to 2012 when it was 43%.
As Britain builds more capacity for renewable energy, including wind turbines and solar farms, more of its electricity will come from these greener sources.
"The UK has a good record with offshore wind. We're quite a giant in the offshore wind world and our industry is very attractive," Jess Ralston, head of energy at the Energy and Climate Intelligence Unit, told the BBC.
Expansion of Scottish onshore wind
Just last month, the Scottish Government announced it wanted to see a massive expansion of onshore wind farms.
It unveiled plans to install 20GW of onshore wind by 2030.
The industry has welcomed the move, but opponents have been left dismayed.
Scotland currently has just over 9GW of onshore wind installed.
Energy secretary Michael Matheson said: "Scotland has been a front runner in onshore wind and, while other renewable technologies are starting to reach commercial maturity, continued deployment of onshore wind will be key to ensuring our 2030 targets are met."
He added that onshore wind remains the cheapest form of renewable generation, adding that "technologies that take decades to deliver and are expensive for consumers, such as new nuclear fission, are not an acceptable solution".
Offshore wind a huge growth industry
Meanwhile, the construction of offshore wind farms is a huge growth industry for Scotland, with many billions being invested.
Wind farms in the North Sea do find favour with the Scottish public, as they are frequently so far out from the shore not to be obvious and don't blot the country's landscape like many onshore projects.
Industry body Scottish Renewables says there are already more than 250 turbines spinning in the waters off the Scottish coast, powering the grid with 1.9GW of offshore wind energy - and there are a lot more to come in the future.
Scotland has a further 8.4GW in construction or advanced development.
ScotWind, the Crown Estate's leasing round announced last year, has the potential to deliver up to 25GW of additional capacity and £20-£30 billion of investment in the decades to come.
