It's at 45GW and climbing - but we are 3 reactors down according to:

Sizewell B is planned, but Hartlepool and Hunterston B both have 1/2
reactors tripped out and the latter is marked as "return on 12th".

And still all those turbines to repair after too much or the wrong type of
wind.

Did Santa forget to bring a few sacks of wood-chips for the biomass
power stations?

You may jest but that's not too far away from the reality

December 20, 2017

"Drax says it expects to take a £10m hit to earnings after problems in
delivering biomass to its power station.

In a statement, the company said an “unplanned” outage on rail unloading
facilities had restricted deliveries and as a result, some of its power
generation had been cut. Consequently, earnings before interest tax depreciation
and amortisation are expected to be £10m lower than expected in 2017; the
company made £121m in ebitda in the six months ending in June this year.

Repairs are due to be completed in January."

Perhaps we should go back to digging coal mines and then building a power station next to the mine.

Drax is IIRC pretty close to one of the few remaining UK coalmines but
there isnt enough coal to meet its needs

The better solution would be to pump out old seams and set fire to them
and use the hot gases to drive gas turbines with.

twenty-first centurys developed world went into hysterical panic over a
globally average temperature increase of a few tenths of a degree, and,
on the basis of gross exaggerations of highly uncertain computer
projections combined into implausible chains of inference, proceeded to
contemplate a rollback of the industrial age.
