More wind farms, or more reliable sources of renewables.

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?

    This is a lively and engaging discussion, and we want to encourage that. However, could I just remind everybody to stay on topic and keep things civil. Please bear in mind that, while this is a polarizing issue, we need to be respectful of the position and motivations of those who take a differing view. 

    We also have a zero tolerance policy on racist, sexist, discriminatory and hateful language content within our forum and our community as a whole and any posts containing such content will be removed.
