Energy prices.

I think, if you added up the amount of renewables 'sold' by these idiotic companies claiming that all of your electrons are renewable, I suspect it would be about 500% of the share of available electric...

I’ve always wondered the same , that if they can only supply X number of green policies , do they stop or just keep conning people . I actually had to get her in charge to change the policy back to normal after she explained she took a green policy out .

Along with , we now have to pay a “green” levy on energy , the they have the cheek to ask if I want to pay extra to offset my carbon footprint … talk about double take …

If we had all nuclear power like France we wouldn't be in this mess. I would even welcome electric cars.
Nobody ever considered energy security when they allowed us to become so reliant on gas

Agree completely.

Not sure: in Scotland we produce almost 100% of our electricity from renewables and the surplus goes to the UK grid - we will be hit by the same price hikes

True, but how much in 2021? We know for a fact Scotland went several months without a scrap of wind.

I have started a new role, due to a lot of things being at stage 3 I can't talk about most of what im working on.
However one project is public knowledge, a 50MW battery, the first stage of 600MW of grid storage. This is just the start as well

I agree a base of nuclear generation would shield us from gas price rises etc but there are far, far bigger things that need to be considered first, such as the clean up at the end of its life

I think we all know that a few politicians and policy makers get very rich to award these contracts abroad, with foreign, party donors greasing the wheels. I'm not btw picking on any particular party.

You sell off your national assets and keep the population sweet with a few shares (that later devalue).

It's all smoke and mirrors.
Yes perhaps if you look at total output. Then divide it spread over a year.
In reality we can get several weeks at a time with barely any wind. Then Scotland would have been running off nuclear and mainly gas.

It's not that bad,wave, tidal and hydro make up about a 1/3 of Scotland s power generation.

Battery storage is a very expensive joke. Ok for smoothing but nothing else.
That 600mw Battery would power a container ship for just 5hrs.
You would need 60 of those batteries to just cover a 1hr drop in grid power.
To cover a wind lull of 2 weeks which does happen you would need 20,000 of those vast Battery banks.
Why do people think we are now paying 28p per kw/h for electricity

I'm sure they're toxic, but it's wasteful. There are claims that they can be recycled.

Wind Turbine Blades Don’t Have To End Up In Landfills

In this blog post, we will examine land-based wind turbines and the recycling opportunities that exist but are not yet widely implemented for the turbine blades.

This giant wind turbine blade can be recycled

Energy companies are trying to redesign wind energy so the giant components don’t end up in landfills. Siemens Gamesa’s RecyclableBlade can be broken down into its raw materials at the end of its life.
