From the OP: "The Heysham site will be able to hold 200 megawatts of electricity." That line alone shows the author doesn't know what they are talking about. I stopped reading at that point. Yes. That's a measure of power not energy - probably means 200 MWh. And the problem with that is that it's actually not much energy. My 4kW array on the garage roof can generate 20KWh on an average summer's day and that doesn't power a house for very long. But the batteries will still be very expensive. Li-ion batteries cost about £100/KWh now, so 200MWh would cost £100 million - and not power many houses. That's the problem with storing electricity in batteries - it's extremely expensive and very destructive to the environment. It's also bloody dangerous to have a vast number of huge batteries in one place. It had better be a long way from habitation because if one of them overheats and explodes the whole lot will go off like a tactical nuclear weapon. I have only got 4 x120W panels but my current battery storage is only 100amph which mean I can plug the shed freezer in during the day. I am getting a 500amph 24v AGM battery system using another 4 panels which I hope will mean plenty of use in the summer saving our woodburning range which we use for cooking and it cooks us in the summer. |

Those that refuse to accept that there s a crisis, and refuse to accept global warming are becoming increasingly isolated. Now, all the main political parties are committed to taking action, and its under the Conservatives that the committment to completely ban the sale of all new petrol and diesel vehicles will come into force in 7 years from now. More that one third of the UKs total energy production is now renewable, and growing. Theres no escape from the Green Revolution, ALL the political parties are committed to it You have described brain washing. |
