  2. ​ @SlowhandGreg Sure, batteries. We're talking about the whole of the UK here, domestic, commercial and industrial. You're going to need one hell of a lot of plug and play batteries for that to be an efficient and scalable backup system. I mean, you do realise how much oil and gas we burn per day to keep the lights on or the sheer scale of the problem here?

  3. How exactly do you nationlise our energy supply, how much would that cost? It's not about being brave it's about reality.

  4. ​ @Neokretai  I watched that a while back and honestly I think it's nonsense when compared to energy, the bill for buying back our energy from companies like EDF would be absolutely enormous if indeed they wanted to sell in the first place (and why would they we're literally picking up the tab for their energy subsidies ) This not post WW2, there's not the sentiment for this. And then there's the blowback if it fails and our economy tanks. Saying it is one thing, doing it is entirely different.

  6.  @SlowhandGreg  I didn't mention the cost, I mentioned the scale.

  7.  @SlowhandGreg  There isn’t a mass storage solution anywhere near scalable enough to balance a 100% renewable grid in the UK.

  8.  @robertdewar1752  My point is that we don't have a net zero grid, and we're nowhere near having one because there isn't a mass storage scalable enough to balance a 100% renewable grid in the UK.

  9.  @Neokretai  You do realise that what Murphy is saying is just an idea. It's not something that's ever guaranteed to work and hasn't been costed properly . I swear the disciples on this channel.

  10. ​ @Neokretai  It is just an idea. We don't live in the 1940's either, the world has massively moved on. What worked then is not going to work now.

  11.  @lestrem11  It is, the Tories saw to that, along with people who voted for Brexit. Labour are picking up the pieces. I mean, you do know this right?

  12.  @lestrem11  Because it's not something that can be instantly or easily fixed. What exactly has he made worse that wasn't a mess already?

  13. So how exactly do you nationalise the whole of the UK energy supply and what would that actually cost to the taxpayer. Let's see some actually accounting figures here. Easy to talk about, not so easy to implement.

  14.  @SlowhandGreg  What kind of mass storage?

  15. Ironically the largest electricity generation company in the UK is owned by the French ( EDF ) who use us to subsidise their energy cost. Go figure eh.

  17.  @robertdewar1752  Well sure, if we had fusion that'd be nice too, but we don't.

  18. ​ @SlowhandGreg  That's one hell of a lot of batteries you're going to need there.

  20.  @SlowhandGreg  Lol. I know how the grid works bud.
