The London Daily News reported earlier this week how a plan to build six runways on a small island in the estuary off the coast of Kent may have received it's final blow after funding was secured for a 1GW offshore wind farm.
The London Array could be the world's largest wind power generator producing 1GW of energy - enough to power nearly a million homes.
The first phase of the development is due to be operational by 2012, providing a capacity of 630MW which amongst other things will be used to provide power for the Olympics.
