In our latest Eco-entrepreneur Podcast, BusinessGreen editor James Murray talks to Adam Bruce, UK chief executive of wind farm operator Airtricity and chairman of the British Wind Energy Association, about the company's plans for the future and the critical role the wind sector has to play in the UK's renewables revolution.

Speaking ahead of the recent acquisition of Airtricity by energy giant Scottish and Southern, Bruce outlines the thinking behind the deal and the plans for post-merger integration.

He also addresses some of the myths and challenges the wind energy industry faces as it seeks to expand to meet the UK's renewable energy requirements.
