Britain lost his warning to the world-Watt?

On the morning of a cold January, when Britain's excessive dependence on wind energy rely on its contribution to the national power grid, it fell to a poor zero time. At the same time, solar output is 1 % of power generation.

This is not only a kind of fluorine, but also the danger of establishing an energy system around the inherent sources of wind and solar. The British government's gambling on wind energy to achieve aggressive and unrealized zero goals has led to an unprecedented energy crisis.

Volatility of wind energy

The attractiveness of wind energy has always been its promise of cleaning the environment and endless energy. But the experience of real world shows that this technology will damage the ecosystem and unreliable. Although there will always be wind on the earth, it is impossible to know when and how much it is as the stupid pursuit of controlling the climate.

As Gridwatch's monthly production chart shown, wind energy fluctuates madly from nearly 100 % output, and it completely collapses within a few days or even hours. This winter, with a very cold high -voltage system in the United Kingdom, the wind turbine is idle when the demand for heating and electricity has surged.

The failure in January forced Britain to rely heavily on gas power plants and electricity imported from the African continent. During these periods, the high cost of imported electricity expanded the highest energy bill in Europe.

On average, the electricity rate of British families is almost twice that of its main French peers. This difference is largely due to British policy subsidies that have renewable energy, and at the same time punish more reliable fossil fuel power generation.

Pay money to stop the wind

Coupled with insulting damage, British energy policy includes an improper mechanism: compensating the wind turbine operator to turn off the machine during the wind. On January 24, the storm beat Ireland and Scotland with a gust of more than 100 miles per hour. Such a strong wind requires some turbines to be idle to prevent mesh overload and mechanical damage.

Lee Morney of the British Renewable Energy Forum said: “Consumers are facing a triple blow to restraint costs during the wind.” The instructions do not do so, and they must pay bonuses for wind farms to reduce the trouble of output.

The production of domestic natural gas in the United Kingdom is declining and dependent on imports, which means that the fluctuation of the wholesale natural gas prices shocked consumers. Compared with the level of 2019, in 2024, energy bills soared by 80 %, which showed no signs of weakening this trend. The government levied the costs exacerbated these costs to fund the “renewable” energy projects and carbon offset plans.

The brand of wind energy as a green solution is an extremely wrong advertisement:

• Manufacturing turbine requires a large amount of fossil fuel-from mining and processing rare earth minerals to the large-scale structure of steel and concrete.
• The land that can be comparable to turbine is many times that of nuclear and fossil fuels.
• The essential extraction of rare earth for turbine magnets is related to the severe environmental degradation in the mining area and the infringement of human rights violations.
• The wind turbine killed wild animals and plants, especially birds and bats, and was suspected of causing whale death at offshore locations.
• The blade of the wind turbine becomes an inseparable waste, and it usually flows to the garbage landfill.

British citizens missed the severe power outage of Jingxu. However, the recent incident highlights the danger of ideological priority to practicality and priority, and warns to those who allow climate dogma to guide energy policies.
