Britain’s wind power falls to virtually zero as Miliband prepares to cut reliance on gas
Story by Jonathan Leake • 19h


Britain’s wind generation is set to plummet to virtually zero this week as Ed Miliband presses ahead with plans to increase the nation’s reliance on renewable energy.

Much of the UK has seen zero hours of sunshine this month, and the first part of this week will see already-light winds hit fresh lows in many areas, according to Met Office forecasters.
 
The dark and windless weather comes as Sir Keir Starmer and Mr Miliband, the Energy Secretary, fly to the UN climate talks in Baku, Azerbaijan, to pledge massive cuts in UK greenhouse gas emissions.

They are expected to pledge to cut CO2 emissions by 240m tonnes, or 60pc of their 2022 levels, by 2035.

Too bad Neville Chamberlain wasn't as determined to stop Hitler as Miliband is to screw Brits.  And Chamberlain's problem was real. :whistle:
