Well, peak usage is always a problem. photovoltaics simply wont work at the UK's latitude. HVDC ftw, rather, cos then you could use the photvoltaics in a latitude where they work, and transfer the power wherever with minimal loss. The UK'd b better off utilizing wind, wave and geothermal. Or use prison inmates in treadmills.

I live in chennai, India where there are only 3 seasons-hot, hotter, hottest.if only people harnessed a litlle solar energy here we could make a big difference. I have already started using a solar oven and it cooks fabulously.

@viridisrock Stirling engines can reach anywhere between 40 to 50 percent efficiency(virtually to max theoretical). These aren't regular internal combustion engines.

i dont like nature all those animals eating each other life cannot exist without the taking of other life it is inherantly heinious. I think God was wrong to have made it even if it wasnt the original paln he knew what would happen because he is god so i say we should become super powerfull corporations and kill the whole planet then the constant deth toll will finaly cease. RIP earth you have been found guilty
