The problem seems to be that no matter what you try to generate power

you actually are taking power from the earth and if you do enough of

unexpected.

Well, yes. Possibly. But then burning fossil fuels to produce power
doesn't seem to be doing the environment much good either. Except in
the
opinion of the various nutcases on here, of course.

So what then is your solution, Our Dave?

Eggs. Basket. Put. Don't. Rearrange to suit. And preferably owned by the
UK. Or rather England, as is likely by then.

That's pretty vague, it only just avoids being labelled wriggling. So
lets have a bit more detail.

No, its cat belling nonsense.

If you only have one type of basket that actually CAN hold eggs at any
sane price, that's where the eggs go.

Dave's stupid point would seem to be that its a choice between lots of
little crappy renewable sources and just ONE power station to run the
whole country.

Its not. We build many power stations. WE have many baskets.

That they are all of similar type, is the nature of useful baskets. Over
years we have arrived at a pretty good idea of what constitutes a good
basket.
