Re: The new economics of the power sector (4.00 / 2)

Unfortunately the UK is stuck in anti-wind mode and cannot escape. I have no idea why even supposedly intelligent writers such as Simon Jenkins of the Guardian are so hostile to renewables but this is where we are.

Each week idiots, especially the amazingly under-informed James Delingpole churn out buckets of ~~photocopied Corporate Nuclear propaganda~~ personally researched energy market analysis intended to damage anything to do with distributed generation and DFH energy.

UK (4.00 / 3)

Despite that, the UK installed 2 GW of wind last year (half onshore and half offshore) and will do the same again in 2013 and 2014, a pretty respectable performance.

Re: UK (4.00 / 2)

Yes, but given the lead times, how much of that was commissioned under the current Govt and how much is being commissioned now ?

the amazingly under-informed James Delingpole

Aah, British understatement, lovely.

Delingpole is well known for his all-round idiocy, and proud of it. A bit like a 'universal genius', but inside out. Somehow it didn't surprise me that he felt 'intellectually raped' by Royal Society president Sir Paul Nurse... savour it.
