Bring it on,sooner the better,there is nothing stopping the uk being 100% renewable energy once the storage issues are sorted and hopefully get some life back into the currently stalling renewable sector.
Indeed. Was talking to a chap the other day who should know and he says a hell of a lot of turbines are switched off as the grid between Scotland and the south or England just can't cope with the power produced. Apparently a new pipe in the Irish sea will transform the situation in a few years. I also heard that Scotland did 24 hours purely on wind the other day. Whether that is true I don't know but all these little milestones mean something.

There was an article at the start of summer stating turbines in Scotland would have partial shutdown due to over production. This is due to less electrical usage during summer (not that we've had much lol) and higher usage outside of summer.

Ahh lithium air battery storage. 10x capacity of standard lithium and a much faster charge rate. Commercial usage in about 10 years. Gigafactory online now but 100% production in 2020. Just seems technology we're waiting for is always far away.
