My feeling (or perhaps it's just a hope) is that this government will quickly fall into bickering disarray and most policies won't get any further than announcements.Meanwhile Liz Truss has started up fracking again
It's actually and lazy move, as there are lots off households with solar panels who can't use them, because the power grid can't handle it. It is however much better than fracking and hopefully will in the future replace the gas demand completely as the dutch gas yield are shrinking to the extent that is is causing earthquakes and such.
So far i known it doesn't really matter in terms off sure when they make an wind farm they do need to known, the average wind speed, but as far is a known it has a gearing like system so the optimal yield is adjusted to the average wind speed, just as there is a certain cut out point to prevent them from overheating during a storm.
Hmmmm.... maybe we could do a deal with the Netherlands - we have a very strong grid but not enough solar and wind, they have more than enough solar and wind for their grid...
No because the problem i highlighted is that the local capacity isn't enough to meet demand. The power cables in the ground now are made to deliver a certain current, but if you add solar panels that balance is going to change, because solar panels deliver back to the grid. So the local infrastructure need to be adjusted in such a way it will be able to handle this new situation. But at the moment politics in the Netherlands is too busy telling farmers they are ''older polluting verhicles'' (in tfl terms) and that they need to close their farms so the govement can build more houses in place because we all known houses are great for the environment right?
