An interesting story of energy here.

This is Loch Gelly, in Fife. Beyond the loch, an array of wind turbines, slowly spinning and generating electricity. They and their bretheren normally generate around 50% of Scotland’s electricity. And we can see an electricity cable, strung high on a pylon, carrying power across the National Grid.

And to the left of the turbines, the Mossmorran plant, were North Sea oil and gas are split out, allowing methane to be used for heating purposes. And in spite of the government’s concerted efforts to encourage movement to electrically-powered heating, natural gas is still by far the cheapest way to heat a house.
