Currently wind is generating 20% of the UK electricity. We could easily ramp that up withoup "filling everything". There is the problem of days with lack of wind, but there is plenty of room for the turbines.Solar projects in the UK?
As for wind, won't you need to fill everything with those dreadful turbines, to produce even a small fraction of the energy needed?

Queenie making BoJo and Truss go all the way to Balmoral to meet her
The new prime minister will have to travel to Balmoral in Scotland for their audience with the Queen before formally taking over in Downing Street, the royal family has said in a statement.
Boris Johnson will also have to travel 500 miles from London to the monarch’s Aberdeenshire estate next Tuesday before he steps down as prime minister, to be succeeded by either Liz Truss or Rishi Sunak.
PA Media, which received the royal statement, said the Queen was experiencing an “episodic mobility issue” and while it might have been possible for go to London or Windsor Castle, it was decided to go for certainty, to avoid plans having to be amended at the last minute.
A ploy to make sure her ministers know who is boss, or is she at deaths door?

I suppose that if she runs out of grouse, there is always Liz (or Rishi).
I think the turbines look quite beautiful. The UK is very well placed for offshore farms too.
Why not both?
Bojo has to go up there to formally quit. Too good an opportunity to miss.

We already have two new general taxes being introduced.
They (electricity tax and the gas tax). they are already being collected off us by the energy companies.
I.e. the UK government lets them quadruple our bills in exchange for perhaps half the excess profit as a windfall tax.
The 'i' newspaper claimed yesterday that the Treasury estimated the sector will make £170 billion excess profit over the next two years.
Which is exactly how GHW Bush handled his ‘no new taxes’ promise.
Are we agreed that the first posted link of the confirmed new leader forms the new thread?

Seems fair — on condition that the thread-starter uses a good "Truss" pun in their title...

Or even a bad Truss pun. Bad puns are an art, like "dad" jokes.
Groans must be had.
