I wonder how many Gigawatts of electricity were generated yesterday by all the glorious peoples’ windmills during the storm?
The answer, I suspect, is not a lot, as they cannot work in high winds and even if they do, can overload the grid so have to be shut down. Al Gore and Wavy Davy have a lot to answer for!
BTW, after all this humbug, Happy Christmas to all our Charioteers! 🙂
And in the local areas people pay over the odds for power to subsidise the resting turbines. 😦
This is good place to see how much the windmills are contributing to the grid.
Hi, jazz! Merry Krimble!
That’s some link put up by Jazz, it appears that wind is consistently pumping 4-5 gigs of power into the grid!
That’s a heck of a lot of electricity.
