Beginning in 1958, these were augmented by nuclear power plants, which have operated nearly continuously to pay off their large capital investments. Unlike coal and nuclear, solar and wind are variable; they provide power only when the sun and wind are available. However, new nuclear plants in the U.S.

Getting more renewables onto the system, including green hydrogen and more energy storage to provide greater flexibility, will protect consumers against the eyewatering fossil fuel price shocks which are currently pushing bills up. This year we risk energy bills rising by £700. Dan McGrail is CEO of RenewableUK.
