He doesn't get that a variation of energy sources is favourable. Mr Global is right that it's been so politicised. The right wing ruled municipals also tend to reject wind and solar energy projects with weak arguments. So in some areas energy consumers pay trough the nose from time to time. Business with energy consuming production have had to shut down production from time to time because production costs exceeds what price increase they can charge for their products.

 @iareid8255 Though if it is way windier in Scotland than if they were placed in Gloucester they perhaps deliver more thus making the transmission worthwhile?

@iareid8255 Idk, if there isn't much electricity produced to transmit perhaps the cost of upgrading transmission capacity appear less of an urgency? Yet still it is unfortunately that the sources of energy have become so politicised to the degree that decision-makers dig themselves into trenches for the sake of it. One can say that the solar cell parks are ugly also but on the other hand in many other areas technical inventions tend to become more efficient and also smaller and one may presume that could happen with solar cells as well so it's not a given that we will leave nature full of solar cells to our grandkids.

@iareid8255 Yes, and of course it depend on where one is located and maybe what type. I watched Prepper Princess testing these minor solar panels that has like a battery for storage of the energy, she lived in Arizona and those mobile batteries had capacity to run the necessiteies for a decent while with energy efficient appliances. A similar system could perhaps be useful during the summer in the north of Sweden where I grew up where you have the phenomen of "midnight sun" if the price is reasonable. I have not seen those here in Sweden though, but the ones that covers the roofs wouldn't be a worthwhile investment for my little cottage for just a few months and where the excess goes into the regular electricity provider.

@iareid8255 About all methods have their disadvantages in certain situations. When its extremely cold it is typically not much wind at all. A few years ago during a heatwave with extremely little rain the water levels in France became so low and the temperature too high to use the water to cool nuclear plants in France. And from what I understand coal is not that efficent for the process required.
