Title: Wind week in the UK
Post by lee on Nov 29^th, 2020 at 10:01pm

" Sat under an anticyclone, Britain’s contribution from wind power since yesterday has been less than 1GW, around 2% of the total electricity generated. This situation is expected to last a few more days yet.

As ever, it is fossil fuels which have come to the rescue, with gas currently supplying 60% of the nation’s power, and even coal, which has been fired up to give 7%."

Get 'Free' Energy and travel 5km fast.
Get 'Costly' Energy and travel 35km faster.
Get 'Costly and Pollutive' Energy and travel 110km faster.
Get 'Ultimate' Energy and pollute the world and contaminate as you go along - but hey, you have enough power to light up a Nuclear Reactor when the crap hits the fan.

The future with wind power.

We're going to be like the old pirates in their sailing ships.

When the electricity is off we will go outside our houses searching for a bit of wind maybe licking one of our fingers and placing it up in the air to see if air is blowing.

Kiss talking on the forums good bye and any other non essential usage of electricity.

This will be seen as a waste of energy when we have a limited supply.
