The lifting of the ban against onshore wind is at least good - the UK is one of the windiest countries in the world. Plans to build solar farms all over the UK - very stupid, because they don't really work as a base load, and ruining the countryside is just obviously the wrong thing to do - growing food is a better idea, or more houses on that same land.
PV solar is better on your roof. UPS battery manufacturing is environmentally unsound though - onshore wind can easily meet night time demand.
