The poster used the data for one particularly dark, non-windy day when the data for an entire year was available. How is this not misleading? It's like claiming that Notts don't score many because Sam Slocombe hasn't scored yet. Coal is imported from abroad. In 2022, the UK became a net exporter of electricity for the first time in 44 years (source: Statista). On top of that, the UK is a very windy country with a very long coastline. We could literally lead the world in wind power, reducing our dependency on dodgy foreign regimes for fossil fuels and giving us cleaner air. It will be cheaper in the long run too! It's worth noting that power bills surged in the first place because we were overly dependent on Russia for gas. The same regime that is already being courted by Donald Trump. If we want to reduce our exposure, we need to become truly energy independent. Here's another reminder that the pages you've been sharing are financed by foreign oil companies that want us to keep paying for their oil! Batteries exist. Look up energy storage systems. Some former coal power stations are being repurposed as giant batteries so we can use excess energy in lean periods. David Bellamy is a botanist. Would you go to a doctor of law if you had a broken leg?

Generally, scientists who oppose this perceived general consensus on climate change are either shouted down, or cancelled. What happened to David Bellamy who dared to challenge that general consensus?

@DangerousSausage Misleading information? In your opinion, but in reality no Autumn & Winter is the time when the temperature drops considerably, if you didn't notice. There is going to be a big demand for power, electricity and gas usage is going to go up tremendously. The Country no longer has the energy generation capacity to supply during peak demand. Fossil fuels are still going to be relatively cheap in the US & now Trump is now in power he's going to reverse any movement to renewables, while this government will just carry on regardless to net zero. Having to import electricity from abroad is a national disgrace, & shutting down the coal fired power stations & building windmills that have no wind to power them half the time, is a nation calamity. Renewable energy is more expensive. We are also paying the renewable levy in our bills making our bills more expensive. Shutting down Oil exploration, stopping new coal mines, shutting down the coalmines in the first place & banning fracking is going to put our industry, what's left of it, to a big disadvantage internationally. And domestic energy bills in this Country, which is the highest in the World, will only get more expensive, unless these policies are reversed. And this Labour government stopped the winter fuel allowance for millions of pensioners just like me. That's my take. People can judge by how expensive their bill is now, & in the future, but if anyone thinks that energy prices will ever reduce in this Country, think again. The only way that they will reduce if government reverse this crazy obsession with green policies.
