From NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE KNOW THAT

By Paul Homewood

Ed Miliband wants to spend tens of billions covering our countryside with solar panels.

Maybe someone should tell him they don’t work in winter!

In the last month there have been many days when solar output dipped below 10 GWh – last Thursday it was just 1.37 GWh. That works out at an average of 57 MW

GB solar capacity is 21 GW, so on Thursday our solar fleet produced at just 0.3% of capacity.

In winter, we use about 900 GWh a day. Miliband wants to triple solar capacity, but three times nothing is still nothing!

No wonder the World Bank says we are the second worst country in the world to install solar farms. Only Ireland was worse!
