UK wind power was a net sink of electricity during the cold snap.
Disrupting the Borg is expensive and time consuming!

All that money stolen from hard working citizens, flushed down the toilet by idiot politicians.
I wonder if there are any figures that show how much of their OWN MONEY India and China spent on this junk.
Pity he didn’t line up the installed wind capacity against what they’re actually delivering, and total energy demand.
Wind energy is great for grinding corn and pumping water when you can store the results and it does not matter too much when you do it.
It ain’t no good for running a country on electric power where there is no reasonably priced way of storing the electrical energy and you want the power precisely when you need it.
If the capital cost of Nuclear power is ~£1.4 billion / gigawatt (according to Prof David MacKay) and the newly commissioned array off Thanet cost £0.78 billion and is rated at 0.300 gigawatt but even using a generous load factor of 35% is only capable of producing on average 0.105 gigawatt , it appears that in capital cost terms alone offshore wind costs ~£7.5 billion / gigawatt or more than 5 times the cost of the equivalent nuclear production.
This of course ignores all the additional costs of the essential, continuous, CO2 emitting, parallel backup generating capacity as well as the costs of continuing feed-in tariffs, estimated at about a further £1.2 billion over the 20 year life of the project. Paying for starters more than 5 times as much for an unreliable energy source must make utter economic nonsense.
net sink? says who?
