The United Kingdom, at the moment is cold, really cold as winter bites. Here in London, normally cold and miserable at the best of times, is now even worse, and without fuel for heating, survival itself is at stake. Consequently, natural gas has taken up the great slack left by the failure of renewables, and three coal-fired power plants, two at Drax in Yorkshire and one at West Burton in Lincolnshire, were ordered back into business, as cloudy days with little wind means that renewables fail. It is their intrinsic vulnerability.
Scotland also provides a refutation of the green alternative energy ideology, with dozens of wind turbines now being connected to diesel generators. This has led to hydraulic oil leaking into the environment, and it is all the fault of he environmentalists, pursuing a fantasy that will collapse civilisation.
