I think your current data plans are in direct competition with the Renewable Energy Foundation, led by the excellent John Constable who has made some memorable appearances before Parliamentary Select Committees and authored several detailed analyses, as well as having had a prominent role at GWPF. They charge for access to detailed data, and because of their attention to detail probably have done more than most to find glitches in the official data on which theirs is based, making it an important resource for those in the industry. At the least I think you should correspond with them.

An alternative would be a cooperative approach.

Interesting. I didn't see it. Must have been an automatic deletion by Substack

Someone called “eigen values” was replying to comments pushing US investment advice. Since removed I guess.

Would your database go down to payments to individual windfarms and how much energy they delivered? Ie average price per MWh Inc constraints

I am working on something like that. In fact the ROC database I mentioned does some of that already

Good idea. Small chunks of information are necessary to catch attention on busy platforms.

Thank you so much for all your efforts. A glistening gem in this ever greyer world. Your intent to engage the indoctrinated youth - but there are some outstanding exceptions able to speak out in public - is excellent, and I do hope you are able to harness those exceptions to assist you. There is also the education establishment to be targeted, but that may be a step too far as those that are in tune with your writings may have career concerns if they expose their views. However, you are not alone and I have been commending your articles to friends and family though, even then, some have yet to be convinced of any narrative that contradicts that which the BBC and Met Office push out in now daily waves of dire warning. Good luck and fortune with your initiatives.

So many younger people I come across have been well and truly indoctrinated in the belief surrounding 'climate change' being wholly caused by Co², and what's more, are actually scared for the future.

The fact that deaths from natural disasters, floods, hurricanes, etc., are greatly reduced or the fact that it is the cold that humans should fear more, right down to the fundamental that we need more Co² not less, is not comprehended. So, trying to change young minds is going to be interesting! But good luck.

As for the rest, I am one of those over 45 males who enjoy the information you provide, which in my case helps me in my arguments with those who have failed to apply any logic to the whole subject of global warming that 'mysteriously' changed to Climate Change!

It may be true that many under 45 are completely captured with regards to net zero, CO2 bad, climate change. But some I speak to are still able to think critically and are questioning it. Hope must prevail. Otherwise we are doomed.

Being over 45 myself I try to stay a little connected to younger people and wherever possible I engage them on the subject of climate & energy mixed in with some more age specific on topic items. Sow the seed and let it germinate.
