I often hear people saying how good UK plugs are. They are OK but have their problems at high currents as the internal fuse gets hot and can melt the insulation and connections.
This example is 9 months old and was used a couple of days a week for car charging - load was about 12A.
The Bussmann fuse in this good quality plug cooked everything and ended up welding the plug into the socket with the heat.

Nice little webpage showing how much Scottish wind power is being curtailed because of constraints.

Solstice is at 20:50 UTC and today in the northern hemisphere is the longest day of the year before we start the long slow slide to winter. It also marks the start of summer.
Happy #solstice everyone!

when you add the security perimeter and other services a nuclear plant is considerably larger than 0.09 sq km but it is still smaller than an equivalent solar plant.

but the government is all too happy to grow "energy" crops which also displace food.
