May be it’s just grubby politics

Labour defends donations from Just Stop Oil backer Dale Vince

The donations do not affect the party's views on the campaign group, a shadow minister says.

I'm not sure quoting that makes the Tories any better..

The only good point is that Labour have been open and up front about it.

But wrongs by either party don't make the other party better, or right

Adding more generation just means more economy of scale.

I already addressed this. With intermittent sources, one installs so many wind turbines/solar panels, and the price falls. However, when your grid has a high enough penetration of intermittent sources, you have to build a great deal of redundancy and storage to meet demand (including baseload supply), resulting in that cheap price suddenly not being cheap.

I have some example figures in a book, if I can remember to dig it out at a later time.

But I thought Xlinks was PV rather than thermal.

I changed it to PV later, but the point still stands. You still need the infrastructure I described.

We need nuclear, and the opposition to it is based upon fear, and nothing else.

Come again. Putin already owns the Tory party through dark money and this upsets you.

Mine is based on price and time. I'm all for it if it can compete.

Also, with high percentage of renewables baseload isn't a thing. You don't want, need or benefit from inflexible always on systems.
