The air is too calm over the UK right now. Windmills are not generating electricity. So bring in the coal burning “backup” plants for some real power...

Or freeze in the dark with your windmills. Even the dopey feminist, save the planet, Greenies might snap to it after a good freeze.

Greenies are to steeped in their Gaia worship to accept reality. I say let them achieve the temperature of their surroundings to save their precious god.
I’ll be happy to burn coal, oil, and use decaying atoms to stay warm.

Yes to coal, wind and whatever provides energy. It’s all better than having a wood stove running in every suburban house and smoking up the neighborhoods during inversions. But even wood stoves are good where and when needed, especially rocket stove mass heaters. :)

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.

Bringing up coal plant online is the dirtiest part of the cycle. Now they get to bring them online from zero. Well at least they haven’t disassembled them yet.

Don't think so. They're too stupid. They need an "evil-environmental terrorist" tax to be levied upon them for not freezing to death!
