Two nuclear power stations are scheduled to go offline permanently in 2030 and Hinckley C might, just might, be producing power by 2031. I'm pretty sure by then a major chunk of the existing stock of ageing gas fired plant will have been retired/regularly breaking down. Throw in the odd super transformer failure and the short version is we're fucked.
Why does anybody read this stuff and give it credence? Only legacy boomers read the legacy media. This dickhead Pritchard whatsisname should be clearing tables not providing talking points by the way , Any of you guys still watching TV? Just stop
have a PhD in economics: on what measurements and models are all these conclusions made on? What is the actual source of the projections? This all feels like the beer mat Brexit calculations leading to booh! and hurrah! policy views.
Agreed, we took a stab at quantifying two different aspects of high entropy, namely diffuseness and intermittency, in our latest piece subtlety titled It's The Entropy Stupid. Keep up the good work. Net Zero is destroying Britain.
Britain has become incompetent because of female demanded DEI
DEI policies and societal structures. Once we had men who knew how to make everything; planes, trains, chemicals, cars, ships, all types of machines. Ans now we have a nation of retards and women running everything into the ground. Shameful. We need a right wing dictatorship.
It’s true that wind and solar power is not an answer to all our energy problems Toby and we are right to invest further in nuclear energy
The problem is you ignore a basic truth….wind and solar power has already been incredibly successful at generating a vast amount of the energy we need in a much more sustainable way…..
Yes the national grid still needs to catch up….
But the inconvenient truth for you is that wind and solar energy is already proving a winner throughout the world….
Only the likes of you and Donald Trump….compromised by his fossil fuel lobby backing…..
Climate change is communist bullshit designed to destroy and/or control free enterprise and your lifestyle. There is hardly any human caused 'warming' . You are being lied to every day.
Yeah right that’s why we are all burning to a crisp this summer and running out of water….long past time you woke up and smelled the coffee matey (if of course that crop doesn’t fail as well) ….😂
I'm fully on board with this but can I ask a question.? Under what circumstances do curtailment charges have to be paid out? I understand that if say a windfarm is able produce electricity but it cannot send it into the grid because the grid doesn't need it or the infrastructure can't handle it then curtailment charges are paid to the energy company. But is that the only condition? I don't understand how the system works but I'm thinking of the forward planning of electricity capacity. Suppose they plan say 24 hours ahead and tell a particular generator that they want it ready to go the following day then if it turns out they don't need it but there is wind available then curtailment charges come into effect. But suppose they worked out that they don't need that generator tomorrow and tell it so then curtailment would not apply?

Now . Throw it out
What ever AEP writes, I think the opposite must be true, it’s a useful barometer in that sense
Totally agree the guy hasn't a clue what he's talking about
AEP is at least consistent.
Consistently wrong. Badly wrong.

Yawn. Another expert?
