Thanks for this article! I have never thought that thermal renewables are a scalable idea for decarbonisation.

What I would like to see is the heat source at Drax and other fossile/renewable thermal plants replaced with nuclear power.

This is what TerraPower is proposing for Kemmerer, Wyoming USA

I agree with you and am with you on this. Drax is an absolute abomination, a subsidised one at that which we pay for. I wrote about it last year: https://azradale.substack.com/p/precious-primary-old-growth-forests

I am in complete agreement with you, which is one of the reasons why I created this blog, especially since rural Wales is being targeted by developers who seek to rape and pillage these ancient landscapes for the sake of reaping profits for themselves and their shareholders. The corrupt Marxist Welsh government is in cahoots with them. They are of course promoting propaganda in support of 100% "renewable" energy by 2035.
