Yes, my mistake, I misread the information. However, the government are funding another 27TWh air storage projects, and the beauty of this technology is it's off the shelf parts already readily available so no R&D costs or time.

I've had a nice Christmas present from HMRC. Apparently I paid too much tax on my NHS pension this year.

No, the salt cavern in Cheshire has 2TWh capacity at this time. 27TWh is in development. Edit: My bad. 2TWh is the projected capacity. A 300MWh liquid air plant is under construction in Manchester.

Which brings us full circle to the title of this post; Someone in authority in the EU can't see the danger, and has probably been lobbied by the oil industry. What was it Fraser used to say in Dad's Army? :)

Let's not forget the work being done on Orkney with wave and tidal. We live on an island, so have a perfect source of base load.

https://www.renewableuk.com/energypulse/blog/battery-storage-capacity-in-the-uk-the-state-of-the-pipeline/ This is just battery storage. There is also 2TWh compressed air storage in Cheshire and a number of liquid air storage sites in development. There won't be one solution, which is a good...

I forgot to add #tsedge, thank you for a good debate. In the age of social media, debating is becoming a lost art.

There's a lot to unpack there, and on some of it you are mistaken. I am not ignoring the intermitency, energy storage is a lot cheaper than continually having to buy more oil, gas and coal, and it is getting a lot cheaper. You are forgetting the enormous cost of commissioning a new power...

The biggest problem is that the oil industry makes around $3 billion profit every single day. They are not readily going to give that up, and like the National Rifle Association in America, they can buy the influence of governments. Apparently at COP (out) 30 in Brazil, there were 1,800 oil...

I must get a pair of those rose tinted glasses.

And that is why our children are doomed.

Unfortunatley, that approach may have worked back in 1982, when ExxonMobile commissioned a study on the effects of their business on the environment and then proptly hid it because it would have been bad for business not only for them but all of the industry. Researchers now agree that we are...

If it's true then they have condemned our children to a world of starvation, limited fresh water and societal collapse. We are now in a time of climate crisis, not just climate change.

Normally around 20% I'll be looking for a charger. If I'm on the homeward stretch, I have driven down to 4%, but I usually look to get home with 10% left.

Moved to Good Energy's standard tariff on Saturday, 3 days later I've just had an email to say I am on their EV tariff! I was expecting it to take over a week. Well chuffed.
