Has anybody told the politicians about this ? Since the UK is only producing about 8% 'green energy' for the grid, what exactly is the point ??? The national grid BTW is again on a winter knife edge of supply due to the crappy renewable energy not working. Electric vehicles could push it into the red again and the emergency shutdown procedures initiated.

France has plenty to sell to the rest of Europe as it runs on reliable hydro & nukes. http://www.gridwatch.templar.co.uk/France/We should be using coal to produce electricity. We are sat on billions of tons of the stuff, and pay France to give us electricity. China burns coal, and look at their energy bills. Almost zero.

I blame renewable energy generation for the new dark ages......I blame the NIMBY's for keeping GB energy generation in the dark ages.

Maybe you mean lack of renewable energy ?I blame renewable energy generation for the new dark ages......
France is currently getting 5% from windtubines and obviously nothing from solar....let's deal in facts http://www.gridwatch.templar.co.uk/france/That's an interesting thought Dave
Whenever we're in France I'm amazed how many wind turbines and solar farms there are - must be paying dividends if they can sell all their spare elec to needy third world countries like ours.
Likewise when I visited China I was blown away by how many hydro electric plants they had.
In both countries I'm guessing that power generation comes before the interests of local pressure groups

And the UK is the apparently the best suited country in Europe to generate power from wind turbinesFrance is currently getting 5% from windtubines and obviously nothing from solar....let's deal in facts http://www.gridwatch.templar.co.uk/france/
Windtubines are currently producing about 8% of the UK's energy.....and that's on a good day, during the summer it was often less than 1%. Politicians and snowflakes could plant a turbine on every square meter of the UK and it would be the same ....Maybe you mean lack of renewable energy ?

That 1% does not take into account the amount the turbines use for maintainence and lubrication, in Australia recently their wind turbines went on a runaway electricity consumption after an outage.

Check out the figures on the site I posted, wind power often drops below 1% of demand and is never able to supply more than 12%, of demand. Despite all the claimed capacity it never materialises.And the UK is the apparently the best suited country in Europe to generate power from wind turbines

Another wasted opportunity?
The site I posted is real time electricity supply and historical figures.Wikipedia says otherwise but I'm happy to bow to your superior knowledge on the subject

How about you check what it says on Wikipedia?Check out the figures on the site I posted, wind power often drops below 1% of demand and is never able to supply more than 12%, of demand. Despite all the claimed capacity it never materialises.
The Germans make windtubines and are ruthless in their deployment. Mainly because their country is run by an idiot who has also bought in millions of migrants. The Germans are busily building 22 coal fired power stations to keep their grid running whilst selling wind turbines to more idiotsJust travel through Germany and observe the acres of solar panels. Their wind turbines are equally plentiful and much taller than those over hear. How come?
Wikipedia is not giving real time electricity generation figures nor years of real time generation historical data, I live in the real world not the wiki one.How about you check what it says on Wikipedia?

Like I said you're the expert.Wikipedia is not giving real time electricity generation figures nor years of real time generation historical data, I live in the real world not the wiki one.
As it happens yes, I opposed a large one, and I don't mean just writing a two line objection either. I mean years of consultations and involvement in politics and report compilation and writing. We won because the wind companies bullshit fell apart in the face of our detailed data.Like I said you're the expert.

100% and if someone wanted to plant windtubines right behind your property I assume you would be welcoming them ???Ah ....
So you're a NIMBY then ?

What damage is being done to the sea bed and marine wildlife ??? Most Environmental reports are not worth the paper they are written on.I think 10% from wind is good going. We have some large offshore wind farms coming online over the next few years plus tidal power and developments in P.V. cells.
There is also a subsea cable planned from Norway coming in at Blyth that will supply electricity generated by hydro power from Norway.
There is a definite future in renewable energy as part of a mix. Anyone that thinks otherwise is deluded.
