The Connections Challenge | The Clean Energy Revolution Podcast S3: E5

Started to watch it. Survived 12 minutes... This is just corporate blah, blah, blah - talking just for the sake of talking... You use smart words, but you actually avoid answering the main question: what is being done to fix your mess...

I only listened to the UK centred first half, but what I did listen to didn’t really fill me with great confidence that the transition to renewables has been well managed, thus far. If I understand correctly, the in pipeline plans equate to a ~5times oversupply, a ridiculous state of affairs. How could anyone allow a business process to become so flawed.

National grid,
I simply do not understand why you seem to think this vast expansion of renewable generation is good? You must be aware just how unsuited to grid supply that renwable genertation is.
Sensibly we would not encourage this expansion but try and ensure that more reliable, dispatchable generation is built instead.
The expansion of renewable capacity simply means more support from real generators and that it has made our unit cost so much higher than it should be and far less stable and reliable.

This is simply propaganda - England are stealing Scotland's wind energy and not paying for it. You've stolen our oil - now you're stealing our electricity.

Excellent conversation
