    Yeh. If the many larger countries were pulling the same effort the UK would be way down the list

    Can’t speak for the rest of the UK but new build houses in Scotland are required to have solar panels

    On wind we are indeed a powerhouse. We see the odd headline that has something like Scotland wind power produced enough for 3 Scotlands. Wish we’re were better at storing it

      I think there’s a use case for hydrogen batteries there. Use surplus green power generated overnight to split water, then recombine it during high demand times. It’s not useful for vehicles, but for static facilities I don’t see why it wouldn’t work.
