UK wind farms generate record 22.7 GW in a day, enough to power 22 million homes


Amazing news, but you're unlikely to see this in our "Mainstream Media" (aka the right-wing press) cos it doesn't fit their narrative.

Nearly 23GW were generated by wind energy on just one cold, windy evening last week. In more relatable numbers, that was 56% of all electricity on our grid. Nuclear did 8%. Just pointing that out.

However, in maybe 15 or 20 years we'lll have Sizewell C chipping in, and btw we're all starting to pay for that through our energy bills next month. This useless government has thought of a way to make nuclear attractive enough to get built - we pay them for well over a decade before they even produce any electricity.

Nuclear is SUCH a bargain.

The energy market is a corrupt cabal controlled by the big energy providers.

Nothing wrong in making energy production 'greener', but it has to be sustainable and it has to benefit the people in the country of production.
Not just the investors nor conglomerates that sharehold it.

Otherwise it's a waste of time
