UK Electric Customers Will Still Be Paying For Gas Plants 10 Years After "Net-Zero" Deadline In 2030

1. The usual "Net Zero" accounting trick is to export excess wind and solar power...

... to any neighbor who will take it and subtract that energy total from whatever fossil fuel energy you actually use.

I have a few neighbors whose electric meters run backwards when the sun is shining, exporting an amount of electricity to the grid that equals or exceeds their total electric use.

That doesn't mean they are not using gas generated electricity like everyone else when the sun isn't shining.

This accounting trick stops working when your neighbors won't take any excess "renewable" energy you've got because they've got a surplus of renewable energy themselves.

Solar and Wind power were the best thing that ever happened to the natural gas power industry.
