I'm sure TNP will comment on his own good time but on that..

But from that..


Green Party Leader Natalie Bennett said: €œThis is excellent news.
Offshore wind is a fast-growing source of green energy, and one which
the UK should be tapping into much more.

"As it becomes increasingly clear that Hinkley Point C is a white
elephant which will not meet the UK's energy needs, the government
must instead direct resources to renewable sources like wind, the
price of which is falling rapidly while the cost of building new
nuclear facilities mounts."


Course what the silly green moo forgets that on days like today the
freaking wind output is sod all so on windless days and they still
think that a few offshore wind farms will have sufficient wind
blowing to cover the shortfall.

Just how to prats like her get into influential positions like that
where other guvvermint wallys take notice of them?.

She forgets to mention the cost of Hornsea 1 power, as agreed, at
£140 per megawatt-hr.

That was then...

according to the TV report the new farm will be much more efficient (and
presumably will cost much less - though no number was mentioned)

Though doesn't negate the other problems, I agree
