DECC's 2050 Energy Calculator

DECC have recently published an on line calculator for various energy scenarios up to the year 2050 (thanks Susanna for the link!). A friend of mine said they couldn't get onshore wind to be a significant component of any scenario. I played around with it a bit and by choosing the minimum demand scenario (1000 TWh per year) and the 'Heroic effort' wind numbers, I get onshore wind at 13% and offshore wind at 43%. Not insignificant.
