  1. I thought renewables meant job losses and economic failure, just like we’ve seen in China?

    It’s going to cost a lot to link up the dispersed wind and solar farms to the grid. That’s why this “investment” is needed. It’d be a lot cheaper to wire up some gas plants that don’t need to be miles out to sea.

    You can argue this is a necessary cost, but a cost it remains.

  3. I’m currently in the process of applying to join National Grid waiting to hear back with an assessment day after completing my online assessment. I’m being made redundant from my role in Openreach and I pray with every fibre of my being I get the job. It not only seems a really good company to work for (from those I’ve spoke to) but it’s clear Electricity is the future more than it’s ever been.
