Live Q&A: George Monbiot on wind power

Join the UK's leading environmental commentator tomorrow to discuss a green technology that hasn't been out of the headlines for the last fortnight: wind power. Starting at 1pm on Thursday 23 July, George Monbiot will be on this page for a one-hour live web chat to discuss everything you want to know about wind.

Should the government have bailed out the UK's only turbine factory that's now due to close at the end of the month? Does the energy and climate secretary, Ed Miliband, deserve to be praised for putting wind power at the centre of his low-carbon plan for Britain last week? Or is he, as workers occupying the Isle of Wight turbine factory in protest at its closure have said, a green failure?

Post your questions in the comments below and George will answer online tomorrow.

Whatever you want to ask about wind, from proposals to pay residents living near wind farms to the debate over whether the national grid is ready for a massive increase in energy from wind, this is your chance.

Head back here at 1pm on Thursday to see what George has to say.
