Further to my blog post yesterday (link in thread), a little more info about the incident at North Hyde substation which triggered the Heathrow shutdown.
The failed transformer was ~60 years old, installed in the 1960's. It tripped out on operation of a "Buccholz" relay.

A Buccholz relay detects gas in the insulating/cooling oil, formed when it begins to break down under heat. It will also detect surges of oil in the conservator tank - an expansion chamber at the top of the transformer to cater for normal temperature related volume changes.

David exposes the naked lies.
When high wind or โ๏ธ output is forecast "tomorrow", gas prices drop in expectation that little gas generation will be needed. Then, cheap gas generation competes with plentiful renewables, & "tomorrow's" wholesale electricity price plummets.
But with "contracts for difference" in place, wholesale spot prices are all but irrelevant, because they have ๐ป๐ผ ๐ฏ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ถ๐ป๐ด on retail bills for most of us. Unprofitable wind farms are compensated by the low carbon contracts company, with the "strike price" as a floor.

A rare disagreement with Hugh from me here. Any "statistical evidence" from official sources is almost totally invalidated by the unreliability of the underlying data.
For example, many of the frail elderly who supposedly died "from Covid" did nothing of the sort.
Covid was named as the "underlying cause" of death by the doctor signing the death certificate. But under lockdown conditions, those who died in nursing & care homes would typically not even have been attended by a doctor.

Sometimes, my timing surprises even me ๐. Right on cue, as further evidence of "vaccine harms" is likely to emerge, the #ONS changes its methodology for calculating #ExcessDeaths.
But most are distracted by the chaff, as usual. Few are looking at the actual data.
The latest ONS bulletin, out this morning & using the new methodology, actually shows an ๐ถ๐ป๐ฐ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐๐ฒ in deaths (a reduction in negative excess from โ-8% to -2%) compared to the recent trend against the long-term average.
