"In Germany, they are actually dismantling a wind farm, to get at 20 to 30 million tonnes of brown coal....the worst polluting type!" OP should be chuffed. More profits for fossil fuels companies, more CO2 in the atmosphere for some extra accelerated climate change. Win win.  | |||

"In Germany, they are actually dismantling a wind farm, to get at 20 to 30 million tonnes of brown coal....the worst polluting type!" And they will be happy to sell it to the UK All old mine sites could be converted in to wind farms on land. Any industrial site that is abandoned could be re purposed. | |||

"In Germany, they are actually dismantling a wind farm, to get at 20 to 30 million tonnes of brown coal....the worst polluting type!" "And they will be happy to sell it to the UK" No they won't. They need it all to generate electricity, having closed down all of their nuclear reactors for environmental reasons. | |||

Hang on, you are saying in Germany they closed their nuclear power stations for environmental reasons and are now knocking down wind turbines in order to get at coal because they need to produce more power? Has Germany gone into reverse or something. | |||

The government's newest round of bidding for green energy at a set priced attracted.....ZERO bids. Sadly people didn't listen because....blah blah Tufton street stooges. Well. Sadly uk green energy is going to have to get a LOT more expensive to become viable for big companies. the government increased the payment amount t to these companies by 16%. And it wasn't enough. Remember these costs exclude green subsidies. Maintenance of the grid,laying the connectors. But we are meant to believe that green is cheaper. I dont think so. " Could you quote the price for this auction and the price given for new nuclear stations so we have some comparable figures. | |||

Instead, because the quality was so good it evolved into Betacam which was a professional format used for making TV shows." That's not true. Betamax was very similar to VHS, with the big disadvantage that the tapes only lasted for 1 hour. That made them useless for movies. Sony soon came out with a half-speed play option that allowed a movie length tape, but the quality suffered. Betacam was indeed used for broadcast TV, but that's because it was a completely different format. The only thing it shares with Betamax is the tape and half of the name. | |||

"I've also heard that the reason that we didn't rejoin Euratom, was that our scientists didn't want to share our advances on nuclear fusion, with the rest of Europe. Hopefully, we'll be seeing some of the Rolls Royce mini-reactors before too long. Could be a game changer." This would and is a game changer, great calla | |||

The government's newest round of bidding for green energy at a set priced attracted.....ZERO bids. Sadly people didn't listen because....blah blah Tufton street stooges. Well. Sadly uk green energy is going to have to get a LOT more expensive to become viable for big companies. the government increased the payment amount t to these companies by 16%. And it wasn't enough. Remember these costs exclude green subsidies. Maintenance of the grid,laying the connectors. But we are meant to believe that green is cheaper. I dont think so. One drop of rain doesn’t make a flood. Calm down, have a cup of tea or something. I’d be surprised when a competent administration gets in. Probably be handled far better than the clown show we have leading this country at the moment. I doubt it, energy supply will not be calm until we are ahead in nuclear. Until then please allow for the pie in the sky ideas that renewables are the answer to all our problems. Who said I thought 100% renewable energy was the way to go?, I am fully aware of the contribution that nuclear power has to support the reduction in carbon emissions. So calm down and have a cup of tea. " You seem to be trolling me, why? Going back to my post is was my opinion, following on from your post. Now going back to you following me around threads being strange in behaviour, stop before you reply to me and ask yourself if you are being personal or having something genuine to contribute. Don't be that person.... | |||

"In Germany, they are actually dismantling a wind farm, to get at 20 to 30 million tonnes of brown coal....the worst polluting type! OP should be chuffed. More profits for fossil fuels companies, more CO2 in the atmosphere for some extra accelerated climate change. Win win.
Name me a reliable renewable that could power our infrastructure, that would include hospitals, airports, shopping malls, houses and everything else that needs energy
Why does it have to be one? Clearly the answer is a combination of them all working together.
I will play this game!
If we add up all the different renewable energy sources we have today, how much bigger do all of those sources need to be to power the UK?"To power the uk 100% without failure. You probably need about 10 times what we have for a failsafe when wind doesn't blow. | |||

Tidal on rivers needs more looking at as tell hydro-electric. Let's face it we need more water storage as in reservoirs. | |||

"A successful renewable scheme has always required a multi-faceted approach of wind/water/solar energy." And storage. If your sources of electricity aren't constant, you have to have some method of storing energy for use when there isn't any being generated. | |||
