RE:RE:EU considers Natural Gas Conversion Projects - Green EnergyWhoda thunk it that: Sometimes intermittent outages in solar and wind could occur coincidentally? Hmmm, maybe at night with no wind, maybe during winter in the northern hemisphere when the is at or less than twenty degrees about the horizon and only for six hours a day... Good that BBC finally recognizes the fact that secure and reliable baseload and peaking is required. nuclear is baseload and gas is both. Should be interesting to see how Frances decommissioning of its last nuclear plants works out next cold spell.
