With the talk of easing planning for on-shore wind farms, and with “Greens” pushing for less reliance on fossil fuels or nuclear, even more emphasis is being placed on wind as a major source of energy. A look at Gridwatch shows that there has been only minor contribution of wind to the UK Grid Demand since August 23rd. Fortunately, at the moment demand is fairly low and solar has made a contribution during the day but that is not always the case. Is it not time that much more investment is made into more reliable sources of renewables, we seem to be working ourselves into a corner?
