3d. Could we ship the electricity in from closer to the equator? The government just turned down signing a contract for difference with X-Links to build solar in Morocco and install an interconnector. It was rejected on the basis of high price and poor energy security.

6. These are the framings that make me lose sleep over solar, wind, and Britain’s energy future. We either need to migrate south or split some atoms.
