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.

FYI, MAGAs in the US don't know how to go a simple google search. The represented 43.6% of Great Britain’s electricity on November 11
