its brilliant isnt it, and a nice reminder that for all the things the uk is doing really badly, our energy transition is still better than most. A lot more still needs to be done of course and it saddens me that this government no longer seems motivated..... now maybe i am naive but that was one area i did actually feel bojo was actually committed to. it was his idea (or at least he backed it) for ULEZ (flawed tho some think it is) and i think he was more behind the energy transition than Sunak.
rather than plunge pricing however it would be nice to have piled all that excess into making H2 however (albeit not for burning in cars, not until we always have this kind of over abundance anyway). I know it isnt as simple as just "lets make some H2 on a massive industrial scale" but long term i think something needs to be put in place to allow us to make use of periods of a glut of green energy.
i am sure there is a technical reason for it but what does dissapoint me a bit is that despite all that, we still have some coal generation going, which seems bonkers... (albeit only 1% but still)
