Renewable enrgy in the UK


Is still more expensive, very much less reliable and produces more CO2
and kills more people per TWh than nuclear power

Wind and hydro generation were up. But if you look at chart 6.3,
onshore & offshore wind capacities have barely increased in the past 5
quarters, so in effect it boils down to it being a warm, wet, windy
quarter - tell us something we didn't know.

Renewable enrgy in the UK




Yes scary isn't it .. with this bollix being spouted...


Dr Doug Parr, chief scientist and policy director at Greenpeace UK,
added: €œNobody noticed the lights going off because the intermittent
wind was not blowing,€� alluding to critics of renewable energy who argue
that such technologies are unreliable because it is at the mercy of the
sun, wind and rain.

€œWe are still nowhere near the limit of renewable energy the system can
deal with in terms of the intermittency issue,€� Dr Parr said, adding
that onshore wind is the cheapest form of low-carbon energy.

Confirming that the Greens are by far the biggest threat to mankind. A
midwinter one way trip to Rockall so they can all, very briefly, live in harmony
with mother nature is the only solution.
