"In Germany, they are actually dismantling a wind farm, to get at 20 to 30 million tonnes of brown coal....the worst polluting type!" OP should be chuffed. More profits for fossil fuels companies, more CO2 in the atmosphere for some extra accelerated climate change. Win win.  | |||
"In Germany, they are actually dismantling a wind farm, to get at 20 to 30 million tonnes of brown coal....the worst polluting type!" And they will be happy to sell it to the UK All old mine sites could be converted in to wind farms on land. Any industrial site that is abandoned could be re purposed. | |||
"In Germany, they are actually dismantling a wind farm, to get at 20 to 30 million tonnes of brown coal....the worst polluting type!" "And they will be happy to sell it to the UK" No they won't. They need it all to generate electricity, having closed down all of their nuclear reactors for environmental reasons. | |||

Hang on, you are saying in Germany they closed their nuclear power stations for environmental reasons and are now knocking down wind turbines in order to get at coal because they need to produce more power? Has Germany gone into reverse or something. | |||

"Well well well Another nail in the coffin of renewables being cheap. We had a thread that went into great detail about how bidding worked on renewables. A certain asylum person denounced that green energy was costly and that the costs were cheaper than gas. I warned about inflation and that certainly costs weren't taken I to account. The government's newest round of bidding for green energy at a set priced attracted.....ZERO bids. Sadly people didn't listen because....blah blah Tufton street stooges. Well. Sadly uk green energy is going to have to get a LOT more expensive to become viable for big companies. the government increased the payment amount t to these companies by 16%. And it wasn't enough. Remember these costs exclude green subsidies. Maintenance of the grid,laying the connectors. But we are meant to believe that green is cheaper. I dont think so. " Could you quote the price for this auction and the price given for new nuclear stations so we have some comparable figures. | |||

Instead, because the quality was so good it evolved into Betacam which was a professional format used for making TV shows." That's not true. Betamax was very similar to VHS, with the big disadvantage that the tapes only lasted for 1 hour. That made them useless for movies. Sony soon came out with a half-speed play option that allowed a movie length tape, but the quality suffered. Betacam was indeed used for broadcast TV, but that's because it was a completely different format. The only thing it shares with Betamax is the tape and half of the name. | |||
"I've also heard that the reason that we didn't rejoin Euratom, was that our scientists didn't want to share our advances on nuclear fusion, with the rest of Europe. Hopefully, we'll be seeing some of the Rolls Royce mini-reactors before too long. Could be a game changer." This would and is a game changer, great calla | |||

No but EV to run at cost need to charge at night on off peek or its more expensive then petrol so ho would invest in a more expensive car that is more expensive to run. The math don't stack up. | |||

If we add up all the different renewable energy sources we have today, how much bigger do all of those sources need to be to power the UK?
To power the uk 100% without failure. You probably need about 10 times what we have for a failsafe when wind doesn't blow."So you would also need storage as the wind might not blow and it could be dark. Tidal on rivers needs more looking at as tell hydro-electric. Let's face it we need more water storage as in reservoirs. | |||
"In Germany, they are actually dismantling a wind farm, to get at 20 to 30 million tonnes of brown coal....the worst polluting type! OP should be chuffed. More profits for fossil fuels companies, more CO2 in the atmosphere for some extra accelerated climate change. Win win.
Name me a reliable renewable that could power our infrastructure, that would include hospitals, airports, shopping malls, houses and everything else that needs energy
Why does it have to be one? Clearly the answer is a combination of them all working together.
I will play this game!

"A successful renewable scheme has always required a multi-faceted approach of wind/water/solar energy." And storage. If your sources of electricity aren't constant, you have to have some method of storing energy for use when there isn't any being generated. | |||
