Wind in Britain is providing under 5% of power this evening. Even a 20 fold expansion in capacity wouldn't keep the lights on. It would just further blight the country.
You simply can't run a modern country on renewable. Why doesn't everyone realize that?

It's even worse when you see that biomass is a significant power source. Biomass is an environmental travesty

A quick look at electricity map shows that wind is under 10% capacity all over western Europe. More interconnects, even continent wide can't guarantee that "the wind is always blowing somewhere"

You need Elon Musk to show you how to harness the fury of your sea waters. Just kidding. He would just show you dick pics or something.

And when you run nuclear power stations on a day with minimal demand what happens?

You can run your society on 100% renewables if your society doesn’t need electricity.
We used to be able to do that.
Some people want to return to the good old days.

Even half of

wouldn’t be enough to keep the lights on.
