"If governments can borrow more cheaply than private companies why isnt the UK using public financing to build offshore wind and cut costs the way Denmark the Netherlands and Taiwan do We are choosing to rely on more expensive private capital even though state-backed finance could reduce prices.

"The question assumes the UK needs enough batteries to run the whole country for eight hours. It does not. That is not how any modern power system works. The UK is not running on a single source. It is a mix of wind solar interconnectors hydro nuclear demand response and storage. Battery storage is there to manage short gaps and balance the system. It is not there to replace every other source for an entire night. The UK already gets long low wind periods and the system stays stable because other generation steps in.

"Gas will still exist for a while but it will be pushed into a backup role and used less each year as more renewables and storage are installed. This is exactly what every serious system operator model shows. Gas moves from running daily to running only during the rare periods when the system needs support and then becomes uneconomic to keep online. The idea that interconnectors simply import high carbon power is not correct. The UK already trades electricity in both directions and the carbon intensity of the European grid has been falling fast.

"This is not how Contracts for Difference (CfDs) work. You only pay a generator extra when the wholesale price is below the strike price. Offshore wind has some of the lowest strike prices in the system so in reality it usually pays money back to bill payers. When prices are high the generator pays the difference to consumers. That is why offshore wind has returned billions to the public during high-price periods. There is no extra payment just because the wind isnt blowing. If a turbine is not generating it receives nothing. No output means no payment. CfDs only cover the electricity they"

"What Claire has left out is the part that completely changes the meaning of the quote. The same article makes it clear that the projected rise in system costs is not caused by net zero at all.

They are addressing years and years of underinvestment and whether we went for net zero or new fossil fuels we would need to incur those system costs.

"The atmosphere does not distinguish between natural and human CO2. A molecule is a molecule. What matters is whether CO2 is acting as a feedback or as an external forcing.
