UK National Grid
Due to the cold weather the national grid is supplying 40giga Watts of electrical power.
Wind is supplying just under 2GW, whilst our old friend coal fire stations are supplying just over 7gw.
All coal stations in the UK will be phased out by 2025, four years for something radical to be produced.
Wonder how the greens will charge their mobiles in the future.

Re: UK National Grid
Mate, quite simple use solar power.
We have similar problems here in Oz all 'Green' ones.
I am not sure where they get their ideas from but we did hear one 'Green' company will be supplying UK with candles from next year.
Apparently the Nuns have no use for them nwo.
Happy daze John in Oz.
Life is too short to blend in.

No good having solar panels if you don't have the sunshine.
