To get the same output of the Hinkley B on its 430acre site they would have to cover upto HALF a MILLION acres with Turbines. Also they'd pay them more than Hinkley for the priveledge of generating (or not) since wind isn't 24x7 output.

No to Asserby - more evidence to Damn Windmills
Read this - look at the Graphic describing just how Futile Windmills are (sorry Windturbines). Don Quixote would be proud.

Free Electricity from British Gas?
Absolutely ridiculous - "Free Elctricity at weekends".
Are we saving the planet or not?
You know what will happen - folk will blast it at the weekend wthout a care. All this energy comes from somewhere. BG hope you'll forget and continue to have the thermostat up in the week. More profit for them.
Yes SUPPLY=DEMAND - laws of Physics. So huge power stations like Drax (Coal fired) and the Nuclear ones have to run 24x7 they can't switch on and off. Its the BASE load. But we go to bed at night and switch off. We all put the kettle on at half time in the World Cup etc. Solar power is only during the day (light), wind power only works when its windy. So what do the suppliers do - they match the peaks and troughs with Gas powered stations that can go on and off quickly but they are expensive and Gas is not so plentiful.
Unless we get Fracking!
It won't work. We need to conserve energy. What next - only allowed to wash at weekends. Only allowed to boil the kettle when its Windy?
What they need to do is sort out the Grid infrastructure so the power can get to where it is needed. Windmills in the Sea need big cables to get the power to the Cities. We must STOP the Constraint payments. Paying the Companies NOT to Generate - that's what its about. They get 3 times as much NOT generating than when they do. If we didn't have the GREEN subsidy on our bills then there's be no Wind Turbines 'cos they don't make economic sense. Then ALL our bills would be cheaper.

Snow paralyses the country
Here we go again. Its Winter and some snow paralyses the country. It makes me laugh.
Yes some places had had difficulties but why does it surprise people so? In winter it gets cold and sometimes it SNOWS..
I used to live near Halifax and we often woke up to and inch or two of snow. If I 'd stopped off work every time I' have lost my job. We just got on with it.
The council were great - roads gritted and [ploughed. You had to be careful but you could get about.
Here in Lincolnshire 2 inches and its lock down. And its FLAT. We only struggled when the snow was that deep it piled up in front of your car. Then you walked to the main road and got a bus. Yes the buses kept running.
