Hunterston B nuclear power station closes after 46 years

7. Producing energy unreliably is something someone who gets information from Wikipedia...

...can consider a good thing, but all the "percent talk" prattled by the morons responsible for the disaster of climate change, specifically, the "renewables will save us" set has done zero to protect humanity from climate change.

They didn't save us..

Forests all over the planet are burning; the permafrost is breaking up, a major glacier in Antarctica is set to break up and release ice flows into the warming ocean.

Every damned Sunday I check the Mauna Loa Carbon Dioxide data. Every Sunday! I've been doing so for nearly a decade.

As of this past week, we're at 417.43 ppm of the dangerous fossil fuel waste carbon dioxide in the planetary atmosphere. Ten years ago the reading was 24.25 ppm lower, 393.18 ppm.

For 19 years here I've been listening to this idiotic "percent talk." It's bullshit. The planetary atmosphere is collapsing, and doing so at an increasing rate.

As of this moment, 2:51 pm EST US, 7:51 PM Ediburgh time, the carbon output of Great Britain is 308g CO2/kwh, more than 300% (if we must do "percent talk" ) greater than the CO2 output of France: https://app.electricitymap.org/zone/GB

All the bullshit in the world won't change this fact. Facts matter.

It's a little late for insipid happy talk from Wikipedia.

Producing electricity when no one needs it, and failing to do so when they do need it is a very, very, very, very, very, very bad idea.
