  • On the 40-odd% generation from UK renewebles, what happens when the snow covers the solar panels and the ice forms on the leading edges of the windmills which will result in the unbalancing of an rotational mass and ultimate shut down?............................?

    It seems that Texas has recently found to its cost that it's energy supplies are not as robust as they thought they would be in the face of a freezing storm and subsequent low temperatures. It would appear that just like the UK, no one has thought about building in resilience of supply sources.
