U.K. National Grid Status
« on: June 19, 2013, 03:27:34 PM »
Has everybody seen this...? Shrugs:

I've been keeping an eye on it for some time...

It shows that at the moment, out of the ~40GW of total power being consumed by the UK, all those thousands of on-shore and off-shire bird mincers are producing just 1.3GW...  noooo:

Bet a sizeable chunk of that is air conditioners

And when will air conditioning load be highest?  Hot airless days.

I can't find the article, but I read one recently that the number of turbines in Scotland had doubled in the last few years but the  amount of power produced by wind up there had only increased by 17% over the same period.  rubschin:
