“For the first 15-year generation of static-battery backup for the global grid, one would need the equivalent of 67,000 years’ total current annual production of vanadium.
“Lord Monkton on nut zero reality, how in fact all renewables can do is make electricity expensive & rationed by law, which has reversed economic progress, while its intermitent & variable supply cannot reduce actual CO2 emissions for the same enrgy output.
“Nut zero, then, is a striking instance of Monckton’s Law, which states that any attempt by governments to interfere in the free market in pursuit of some political objective or another will tend to bring about a result that is precisely the opposite of that which was – however piously – intended.”
