Https://www.energydashboard.co.uk/live Wind is at 20 percent let’s hope nobody targets our wind turbines. Bring back loony

Silver foil will you now explain to you nephew and niece that electrifying all transport will reduce uk energy demand by around 4 time only when using renewable. You can educate the young ones correctly now you have been corrected.

A bob in old money was worth 12 pennies not £1.

The reason that is lesson was important was because oil isn’t equivalent to electricity.

The amount of TWH dependent on what you use it for is around 2.6 to 4.8 electric to oil equivalent or you could say electric cars are more efficient.

Obviously this isn’t going to happen over night and probably not for a long time. But if it was to happen the U.K. would need only about 35,000 wind turbines to power its needs. Which is very possible to keep up with during this transition.

I still can’t work out why the U.K. would need 200,000 more wind turbines are they little toy ones?

Wow that’s very impressive.

As of 2023 there are only about 10,000 combined on and offshore wind turbines in the U.K. and this supplied 30 percent. The U.K. could easily double that in a few years.

Silver foil where are you getting your information from? In 2023 the world produced over 7 percent of it electric from wind and the U.K. produced over 30 percent. I know you said your 70 have you not got access to the internet, them Encyclopedia from 20 years ago are out of date.

In the U.K. in 2023 over 33 percent of electricity was wind. With the right investment and storage most likely hydrogen and hydro storage it could easily be over 100 percent of the U.K. needs.

Claire have you researched wind power?

Max are you inbred? The distance from the earth to the moon is routinely measured and there are many different way to do so. You need to leave the house more get involved with things you enjoy instead of learning and spreading nonsense you learn from YouTube.

Max what will run out first the wind or the sun?

Run out of wind Christ that must come from the same writer of that renewable argument you posted Max. Renewable energy is obviously the future. Oil will play a part mostly for secondary things like plastics. But I would expect 70 percent renewable vs 30 percent fossil fuels in the next 20 years. Look at how far China has come.

Meg that’s an instant ban right?

Max if only you were born with a brain or had a better education people wouldn’t have to die just so your bad investment could come good.

Hey Meg I didn’t know you drive a steam engine.

18 tons of coal! Is that that just to give one lump to all your kids instead of buying them presents this year 🤣

Yeah read that article U.K. could outpace electricity consumption by 9 percent and could be a net exporter somewhere down the line. Could you imagine I’m not holding my breath but could cheap electricity be past on to the consumer. No sorry defo not and that is where companies will be making serious money.

I absolutely agree with you Planit it’s just the rest of the world don’t.

The U.K. produced 43 percent of electricity from renewable this year well behind over country’s even 3rd world countries. What happens in a couple of years from now when we’re up to 90 percent. I’m not that keen on the electric thing but it’s going to be a big part of our lives and BP has a chance to be right up there.

Coal is now finished in the U.K. and although oil isn’t and won’t be for a long time BP should continue with wind and solar. Soon every parking space will have a charging point and petrol will be in decline. It’s only due to renewables the U.K. is no longer looking at black outs.
