Sound bite version.
1.Wind isn’t economicaly competitive or it wouldnt need subsidies everywhere in the world.
2.Wind is intermittent and nondispatchable, so requires grid backup costs not born by wind.
3.Wind provides no grid inertia, so increasing penetration destabalizes the grid.

For anyone intending to join in with the celebration of Earth Hour, you missed it.

Ah I'll have to beach my brain, I just a discussion with Mr Blusterer an ardent angry remainiac
I can't work out if he's clever
or an idiot with some good accidental tricks
#1 Shouting victory from the outset
#2 Then when I didn't roll over and still explained how he was wrong, he bluster swamping with 10 comments
... Well, not matter that he can make so many off topic points, I still show the screenshot of the source document
.#3 Showing no empathy , he still shouts back with persistence and insults
..and I know not to be intimidated and of course I can still rebut
But I suspect his techniques generally work and lurkers too roll over at the swamping

The call has been made by Sajid Javid, Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, who took to social media to say “enough is enough Jeremy Corbyn”, as pressure mounts for the opposition leader to explain why he questioned the removal of an anti-Semitic mural depicting a group of men huddled around a Monopoly-style board.

they can afford a couple of carriers.

China could build a couple quite quick and cheap.
Part of the UK/MOD/RN requirement for Aircraft Carriers, must have included assumptions about an EU Defence Force. The EUDF may need UK RN support.
It just depends whether air support is required, if the EUDF intends to be fighting away from home.

It's a kind of parallel of the Trump Britain First Tweet
where libEstab judge by who the MESSENGER is rather than the truth of the tweet
3rd Jan 1:57am ShaziaHobbs sends out her tweet to followers
3rd Jan 5:19am Sideways2K send out exactly the same tweet stripped of Shazia's moniker
SXSW Sadiq reads out the words at SXSW as an example of hate speech
..when questioned they say well Sideways2K are hatey people

Another guy quotes the bad tweets Sadiq read and gives us links
"9 tweets mentioned in the Sadiq Khan video. 4 don't exist."
