I worked in the NHS as an energy efficiency engineer.

On here, you have demonstrated poor research skills, a lack of
rigour in reading or a lack of understanding of what you do find,
unrealistic predictions of the future, no understanding of
commercial costing methods, an inflexible mindset and a total
rejection of anything that does not fit your preconceived ideas. I
somehow don't think those are ideal attributes for that job.
And you have demonstrated you are stuck in the past, unable to see
we need a complety different way forward.


Yes, with more nuclear and no windmills - quite right, harry.


You don't get much wind at night.
Crop spraying needs low wind speed; preferably less than 4 mph. Usually
early morning, late evening. Somebody may have real figures:-)


That is a bit of an over generalisation. It is true to say that during
periods of high pressure lightest winds occur dusk/overnight/dawn
particularly in summer since there are no solar thermals at this time of
day, but depression created winds are just as strong at night as during
the day.
