Wind currently Britain’s largest electricity source

There’s been a lot of noise about a lot of approaches, and some subsidies for home-scale batteries under utility control. Not yet a lot of grid-scale storage. Utilities, almost everywhere, don’t plan far enough in advance to seriously invest in things like storage before it’s an obvious, urgent need. Cynically, that ensures that by the time it’s built everyone understands the pain it’s there to prevent. No one can get expensive support for preventing a future problem like that, especially when the solutions are getting cheaper every year you wait.
