If you're happy to just quit then stop whining about it all the time. 

Twisting people’s words again 😞old habits die hard.

The figures are out there, very easy to find and substantially higher than the numbers you quoted, mind you they come at an astronomical cost to UK households and businesses. There is often a disparity between production and consumption mind. You ever take a break from being a condescending prick 42 ??,  somewhat like the office blagger you seem to think relentlessly misspelling people’s names or ridiculing an information source is an effective way to put your point over. 
Strange behaviour from someone who is obviously not stupid. How’s the rat/bin situation by the way. 

 

If you establish yourself as the site fool-cum-lunatic you're bound to attract a certain amount of ridicule. 

So if you think China is a piss poor example, then which country would you choose for it's commitment to renewable energy sources? Bhutan is 100%, and they don't have trains, which you'd like, but they're obviously a special case so you're not allowed to pick them.

at least a lot of the composite blades for wind turbines are made in UK

That manufacturing base is being built up steadily, shame it’s taken so long, approx 11500 turbines up around the uk most with 3 blades. UK supply is roughly 10% but on the up.

Reference my earlier comment. I rest my case 👍. 
As I’ve said a few times I’ll skip your question after question after question after question show, the answers are never enough and you lie when all else fails so no thanks.

however, even though the Our World In Data checks out - agreeing with johnsond's search screenshot figure of 50.8% UK electricity from renewables (in that year) BOTH sources are wrong. Why? Because they include biomass in renewables. What a con that is. Can't see how we get 7% credit to our renewables target for shipping in wood and burning it. Burning trees is an impatient way of burning oil - both release carbon dioxide to form an insulating layer in the upper atmosphere.

• Carbon Payback Period: 

  It takes a long time for new trees to grow and reabsorb the carbon emitted from burning older trees. This means that burning biomass can contribute to warming for decades or even centuries before a "payback" occurs. 

 

Yeah, large-scale Biomass is BS. We're all agreed. "Impatient coal burning" - nice! Especially using fuel that's been shipped in from the other side of the world to be burnt. Makes more sense to bury local stuff in the ground, as silly as that sounds.

Biomass is just a way for dumb politicians to appear to be doing something, without actually doing anything to upset the apple cart.

The whole renewables game is a cash cow for predominantly foreign based companies, I agree with the biomass comment, I’ve mentioned it on more than one occasion. 

 

It undoubtedly is a cash cow for some foreign based companies, (because we've allowed them to take advantage), but it also serves a critical purpose. How else is the world going to reduce CO2 emissions without substituting renewable for fossil fuel energy sources?

OMG  here we go again 

Off you trot to China lad plenty of coal power stations for you to stand in front. 

[sime42]

You missed the operative word Davey - "World". China being part of the whole. Read the words.

Two now, it would seem condescending behaviour doesn’t go down too well with those that have actually suffered at the hands of these gangs.
Good enough for the Guardian it’s good enough for you. Facts lad.

No, you were cherry picking something out of the story and out of context, perhaps you should actually use something from the articles you post and say something about them?

How about who should be leading the inquiry, and how it should be led? 

Who should be giving evidence and from what levels of the different services ie. Case workers or senior management?
