The argument for renewables in GB was that the wind is blowing or the sun is shining somehwhere - we have a lot of weather - so the grid is secure.
Except in extreme cold of 2010 there was no output from Wind and no Solar (covered in snow).
So we burned loads of coal to generate electricity and loads of gas for heating and made loads of CO2.
Dirty coal from overseas (we have cleaner coal here but not allowed to use it because of CO2 so we closed the mines) and Gas from our friendly Arab friends (Qatar) who love us all with our free speech and freedom which they embrace so fully, oh hang on ?
Thanks Greenpeace, you flippin morons.
