Pumped storage built in 1974 because of inflexible nuclear build out.

Riding around the Dinorwic slate quarries, North Wales, in the late December sunshine. A great end to the year after the 2 months of rain we've just endured.

When did whole system thinking become blasphemy? It was never fossil fuel v solar and or wind but moving from burning our great great grandparents to using sets of solutions including conservation heat networks geothermal tidal storage wave Dinorwic and solar thermal

Does Dinorwic not exist? Waves? Tides? Geothermal? Energy management? Salt, HVDC, batteries? Solar thermal, heat storage, heat networks, passivhaus? What is happening in these discussions? Is whole system thinking anathema?

as an aside:

is it a British youtuber? are they outside? are they going to a MASSIVE DISUSED QUARRY? is it Dinorwic? it is??? wow!! Dinorwic again!
being sick means watching a lot of YouTube and spotting pattens

to whit! oh boy! another:

✅ Gamer chair owner !
✅ Using an ultrawide monitor!
✅ Wearing a hideous distressed quasi-henley shirt thing!
✅ Doing a subpar Jacob Geller impression!
✅ Who gets basic facts wrong but confidently so!

yay!!!

Pumped storeage like Dinorwic was always the best option. France followed our lead when we with little corporate memory forgot.

The Three Billy Goats Griff.

They are Welsh goats, which I spotted up near the Dinorwic slate quarry, above Llanberis.

There once was a display of Constable paintings in the Electric Mountain building in Dinorwic. Then it was demolished. I remember buying a book of Constable in Wales there.
