@zoesqwilliams Zoe, the reason wind & solar have made energy unaffordable for Brits is that wind & solar make electricity capriciously, rather than when it is needed. Fossil fuels and nuclear supply energy when it is needed & of high value. Wind & solar usually don't.

@zoesqwilliams Have you noticed how the wind very often dies at sunset? (If not, you're not a sailor.)
Well that's exactly when outdoor temperatures fall, commuters arrive home, EVs are plugged in, and evening meals are cooked: when there's often little wind energy, and no solar energy at all.
@zoesqwilliams Did you know that wind is actually an indirect form of solar power?
Relying on wind & solar "renewable" energy means freezing in the dark on windless winter nights… just to stop this consequence of CO2 emissions:
@zoesqwilliams Closing clean, reliable, affordable coal & nuclear power plants means creating energy shortages on windless winter nights, which drives the cost of energy ever higher at precisely those times when only energy available is from fossil fuels & nuclear.
@zoesqwilliams And do not imagine that there's an environmental upside. If you think there is, then you've been duped by climate industry's duplicitous "climate emergency" and "net zero" marketing campaigns, and the Left's environmentally destructive war on science.
