There’s a tendency here to overestimate the UK’s current reliance on wind power. In fact over the last year wind supplied on average 26% of the total energy supplied. It’s a significant figure, but only one component of a diverse energy budget.

You all need to start fracking. Wind is maybe 3% of US Electric generation. Most of your coal deposits probably have frackable natural gas.
Certainly UK and EU for that matter are capable of keeping the lights on. What is newsworthy is that they are having to abandon the “green renewable” pipe dream to do so. This will come as no surprise to reasonable people who have long seen through the narrative, but seldom so transparently obvious.
