    The UK has one of the largest wind farms in the world, I think it actually is the largest in the world. One of the wind farms was built just off the coast of Scotland right next to trump’s golf course and I’m sure it was built mostly just to annoy him.

    Solar however is a lot less reliable, just because it’s not particularly sunny here and also with it being so far north during the winter the nights are quite long.

    The government says that the intention is to go 100% renewable but what they actually mean is as much renewable as possible, plus nuclear cover the load. No one thinks you can 100% be on solar and wind.
