But even 100 fields of solar panels does nothing at all for 16 hours a day in winter. And around 10% of what they do during the day compared to summer. So useless. And understand that 9x as much eergy is consumed as gas to heat homes. All of it in winter. So we will need to generate 9x more power than today if they shut off the gas.
Then consider that the average house uses around 15kwh per day.
But a decent EV is around 80kwh or so. So that means that as well as making 9x as mush electricity so we can use it for heat. We now need another 80 div by 15 or 5x more power just to charge 1 car! And remember that many homes have 2 or 3 cars. Most in my street have between 1 car and 6... Depending on sons and daughters, company vans, as well as private vehicles...
I might add that wind drops both in winter and at night when you need the lights on since its heat from the sun that expands the air and moves it around. Guess when houses and cars use the most energy? At night. And in winter...
So now we need:
9x more electricity for heat if we scrap gas.
5x more electricity for 1 ev car per house as well.
Thats 14x more generation capability, than we currently have.
And right now we are buying lots of power from the countries around us, to keep the lights on! Already. And are planning of forcing the sale of EVs and the scrapping of Gas heating systems. Then theres industry, trucks, container ships, factories, etc... All currently usng gas or petrol or diesel...
The whole idea that you can use a few renewables and scrap petrol, diesel, fuel oil, kerosine, gas, coal and allow the remaining nuclear stations to shut down over the next few years is a joke. But polititions do not understand any of it. They just think virtue signalling and the green lobby are marvelous. Even though its actually impossible.
