What trade?
Intermittent renewables arenāt the answer IMHO
What, to Philās dilemma or to climate change more generally.
If the latter, than I donāt think anyone has claimed this.
?
Renewables are improving. The cost is falling and the efficiency is getting better. Read this from last week
Britain had itās first day of coal free energy in April
Back in Nov 2016 a report showed that 50% of our energy needs had been met by low emission sources between July and Sept 2016.
We are very lucky to have some of the best conditions for wind turbines.
Rather than just saying āIntermittent renewables arenāt the answer IMHOā, suggest a solution instead. Although Iām getting the impression that youāre not a climate change believer, so probably donāt see the need for a solution? Are you going to say that the whole problem is made up to keep wind turbine manufacturers in work?
(That end bit seems to have come out a little aggressive - itās not meant to be)
Can you still buy household coal or knutty slack as it was known?
Sorry Fatso, my comment on intermittent renewables should have been appended to P_Sā comment āWe have off shore wind farms everybody farts you canāt deny thatā - would have made more sense then
No, am not a climate change denier, though am of the opinion that despite improving efficiencies wind / solar arenāt sufficient to produce the UKās energy needs all day every day 365 days a year- especially, for instance if the Govt imposes a move to all electric cars and phase out all fossil fuels. The answer? I dunno. Do you?
I agree with you. Wind and solar are unlikely right now to produce all of our energy needs. We are investing (badly) in nuclear as well. There has to be a mix. It would be foolish, IMO, to not take advantage of the wind power potential that we have. We do need to invest more in renewables, not just production but research as well, otherwise weāll end up in the familiar position of being behind everyone else in terms of technology. But this isnāt just about Britain, renewables are a sensible way for all countries to head, particularly solar for some of the poorer nations.

v.dangerous harvesting all them winds tho. If we take all the winds and convert them to electricities, what will blow the clouds along? I bet it happens when a rain cloud is just passing over my house. What will happen to my house price, when it turns out there is gonna be a rain cloud just sitting there, pissing on me for the rest of All Eternity?
Probably increase it after all your excrement is washed away

I read somewhere, a while ago maybe, that if they turned the whole of the Australian outback into solar farms they could generate enough leccy to power the world many times over.
Forget the logisitics about running power cables around the would and all thatā¦
Hell yeah. Iāve the best part of a ton of the stuff sitting in my back yard neatly piled in 25 kilo sacks. (same with logs).
Last couple of winters have been too warm for regular open fires - so am doing my bit and inadvertently hording fossil fuel to stop anyone else burning itā¦

they laid cable across the Atlantic so we could send telegrams. We got this.

Probably not completely the right place for this but do read all of it and say hand on heart if you believe the justice system isnāt broken / corrupt.
Well, thatās a balanced piece of journalism.
The disproportion became still more visible after racist rioters (some of whom should arguably have been tried as terrorists) this summerā¦
Strictly speaking theyāre probably right if you stop and think about it.
As you can see from the picture below the just stop oil activists are using Heinz tomato soup which has a plastic coating on the inside made from? Yes thats right OIL.
The labels are also printed with ink also made from OIL.
I can guarantee the tee shirts are printed with an ink derived from correct again OIL.
The plastic labels in the shirts will be made from OIL.
Send them down and they will be eating with plastic knives and forks on plastic plates for a while. made from OIL.
