What the ESG crowd ignores is energy security - UK has had low wind and weeks of rain.

Solar efficiency is terrible at the best of time, at around 20%. You get any shading during the limited hours the systems work, around 8 hours a day and less in winter, and you’re f*ed. Storage discharges in a matter of hours (~4h at max discharge) and WILL NOT RECHARGE UNTIL THE SUN COMES OUT!

Wind speeds only need to drop a couple of m/s lower than design and efficiencies drop away to a fraction of their output.

Meanwhile the US strategic reserves contains enough energy to run the entire country for weeks!

I’ve said this in previous comments - foreign interference must be investigated by those pushing ESG. Only an enemy or a moron would be pushing the west to adopt unstable and unreliable power whilst giving up energy independence. Both deserve to be locked up.
