An annual energy bill for a typical household will fall to £1,923 in October under regulator Ofgem’s new price cap.
I honestly think it’s appalling that they’re continuing to let these energy providers make obscene profits from us.

For the UK, onshore is not viable due to planning and solar is less so during winter when energy demand is highest.
It’s a small island surrounded by sea, offshore wind is the only game in town, other than nuclear, and currently offshore is not viable unless the govt ups the contracted MW hour rates…

Planning needs changing.
(I like wind turbines on hills. Pretty.)
Thing about solar is you keep putting up more panels, and by and by you halve as much power in the winter as you used to in the summer.
Solve the society for the prevention of rural electricity, soon.
I don’t think panels are the answer, solar leaves that create fresh water as well as pv and thermal giving >70% efficiency sounds great

The storage requirements are going to be huge, we’d need something like this for every town, goes inside the hill, no nimbyism.
