Bret Cahill The UK isn't being rational. A 30 year target is pretty meaningless. How are they going to achieve it? Also, the current trend is to promote impractical solutions such as wind. Wind is too variable, we need a reliable power source for winter heating. as of 8am, nuclear is stuck on 4.3gw, the day seems calm yet wind is giving 2.9 gw, solar is giving an estimated 1.2gw, so pouring billions into nuclear seems rather silly when wind, solar and tide can give more for less without the residual danger and cost. If you look at https://www.gridwatch.templar.co.uk/ you will see very little solar in winter and periods with very little power from wind. I'd like the renewables all in 1 box, not chuck wind in with nuke/coal/gas. Given that current electrical generation doesn't include transport or heating you need to about double or triple current electricity generation and have it available when people want it. Even the current small contribution from variable sources such as wind and solar causes considerable problems for the distribution grid. Tidal is very expensive. but very cheap compared to nuclear, and always available. Good lard, IAWTP. Go on Mr C get with the program(me) and use an environmentally friendly means of transport. I do, I walk when the journey is feasible, but I have to keep dodging all these bicycles on the footway. |

It's hard to to be stuck on stupid when other places are being rational. The UK made a lot of money off carbon. Now the UK is making a lot of money off wind. Anyone see a pattern here? https://www.telegraph.co.uk/business...s-hit-jackpot/ |

There is plenty of that in Westminster Palace. |
