Imagine if we’d properly invested in nuclear as well. Imagine if we didn’t have 14 years of tories sucking the marrow out of our bones.

>Solar generation reached roughly 10 gigawatts, just below a record set in July last year, while wind output climbed to almost 24 gigawatts, a new high.
>The jump on Wednesday helped push power prices lower, with day-ahead contracts settling at £40.72 a megawatt-hour, the lowest since October.

They can pass savings onto themselves and promote scary news for the reason energy prices still cost so much. Yay.

Yep, yesterday I paid 18p / kWh but today it’s back up to 26p.

Transport fuels produced by solar poewr, I like it.

Get ready for record profits for the energy companies thanks to marginal pricing.

Meanwhile the yanks just paid a billion to the French to cancel their renewables

Seems odd that the government in it’s infinite wisdom just said that a Chinese company can’t build a 1.5 billion pound wind turbine blade factory in Scotland. Gosh who needs the factories to build that advanced green tech inside the country.

This needs to be stopped! These ugly wind turbines ruining the view when you can have a beautiful gas burning power station and watch the lovely clean smoke go off to help the trees.

I wonder how many units of electricity the money ‘Baroness’ Mone got would buy.

But Reform want to scrap them all and go back to oil. Dumbasses.

It’s fantastic no taking away from it but it doesn’t paint the whole picture this is just grid energy generation.
A vast majority of houses still rely on combi boilers for hot water and central heating so the grid may not be feeling the pinch but we’re still heavily shackled to gas.

Now if only we could figure out how to make fertiliser out of rain

We need state-running wind/solar farms and we need them 10 years ago

I am hoping that it becomes strategically prudent to improve domestic hydrocarbon free power generation and perhaps they speed-up the improvements to the grid so that more renewables can be added.
