Wind output reaches new low..
You have to love all that diversity ('the wind is always blowing
somewhere'), in the equinoctial windiness of March, today the metered wind output (23MW) dipped below 1% of 'metered capacity' and looks to stay that way all day. It's nice to know that that capacity that 'could supply up to (insert own bull**** value here) millions of homes' (in themselves not where the largest consumption of electricity takes place) is in fact barely capable of driving 10,000 electric kettles to make a morning cuppa. Or about 4 electric locomotives of decent power output. (http://www.bmreports.com/bsp/bsp_home.htm) It is, in fact, to put it in perspective, about 1/50th of the nice nuclear energy currently being imported from France.. You can always rely on windmills to ....completely fail to deliver, randomly. |
