It gives him a break from looking at pictures of Putin with no shirt on.

At least he didn't do something as stupid as vote for Boris Johnson or Brexit.

There were only two other posts at that stage. The other he replied to with a quote. I know you are old and doddery, but senile and dementia too?

February is notorious for long periods when the wind don't blow.

That's just utterly wrong

This sensitivity of wind characteristics to time of year is also apparent for low wind speed events; e.g., the extreme event of 75% or more of the UK experiencing low winds affectsa round 0.8% of all hours: However, during winter, this falls to 0.2% of hours.
This is not an unexpected result given the seasonal patterns in wind power availability that have been identified;

From here:

The December - February period is the best time of year for wind power.

Bit of a pity, really.

UK gas reserves are 96 per cent lower than in Germany right now

A lack of gas storage capacity and the refusal by the government to limit demand increases the risk of blackouts this winter.

germany has to store more gas because it doesnt have its own gas fields flowing every minute of the day supplying around 50% of it`s gas usage so irrelevant article

Just thought I'd throw it out there.

Common theme from gant. Tell puerile lies then squirm and make weak excuses.

So you'd deny there was frantic work going on to reinstate UK storage to reduce the effects of the shortage? Do you claim NG has not been warning of blackouts due to gas shortage?

Are you on glue?

so you clearly dont understand that the article is a non starter it has got nothing to do with how much germany has stored over the UK when they dont have a constant daily supply coming on shore .

Last week, Müller said that Germany could see severe nationwide gas shortages, which it would not be able to predict more than two weeks in advance.

"If we get a very cold winter, we have a problem," Müller said in an interview with German business daily Handelsblatt.

Due to the weather forecasts, Germany will not be able to predict gas demand more than two weeks in advance, he added.

Signs are mounting that the German economy is slipping into recession, which will deepen as we head into the winter months amid the ongoing energy crisis, Bundesbank, the central bank of Germany, said in its monthly report on Monday.

yep we should all pray with you for a windy day look how well that worked in texas the other year .
And the point raised against you was about the non story about how much germany has stored against uk storage which is totally irrelevant when they do not have there own gas fields or the facility to even take any LNG
