@HydrogenTE@SharePickers Although almost all wind farms are backed by a CFD contract set by that wholesale price, so if power prices fall the cost of 'topping-up' those wind farms will rise
We've locked ourselves in to expensive power bills whatever happens in the markets
@kaya85kaya@b280c_2 Except when it's windy enough for gas-fired gen not to be needed, the price drops to zero/negative, and the gas price becomes irrelevant - the market is pretty efficient if its left alone!
@scolerkolo@James_M_Yates@GoodwinMJ All we need to do is bring the entire world up to our living standard and them will stop wanting to come here.. even better run ourselves into the ground to make us less attractive than where they already live
