I think Michael Liberick in the UK makes a valid point that there is still a real challenge in this renewable revolution that is taking place of how in a high pressure anticyclone environment in the middle of winter, the likes of last January, we might have a two or three week period without wind. Obviously solar is not a kicker. As we get up to these very high levels of penetration, is that interconnected to France? In those circumstances would it be French nuclear keeping us going? What is the answer to the question as to how to provide that load in an anticyclone in the coldest part of winter?
