You post pages of rubbish and then expect readers of this thread to actually believe that you were simply trying to wind up bryanb.
My post was responding to your ridiculous reply to rogerblack, before bryanb posted on this thread.

- as did I assume 99% of the UK, and 99% of the Uk stopped most of its power draw
- 60 minutes after your Horlicks the demand in the UK dropped [real time UK] 6 gigga-watts
- please explain to me what happens to the electrical power generated by the power stations after midnight
- and what happens to the so called 'green' power, little windy-mills spinning all night like drunks on a carousel
- they don't just stop at 2320hrs, you can't just switch them off, where does all that leccy go ?
- and how do these gigawatts get into a lake in Wales ?, sent there in box's ?, down wires dipped in the lake ? - how ?
- or, if they have already spent a fortune generating the electricity how is it stored as p o t e n t i a l energy ?
- what is potential energy from waste coal / oil generation and how is it converted back to on-demand leccy ?
Hydro was in this country in Cragside 150 years ago, get up to speed, the debate was on storing current wind / wave / coal / etc wasted generation rather than sending it to earth .. .. not pumping water uphill.Richie-from-the-Boro wrote: »Educate me, and the rest of the group, I for one will give you my undivided attention. How do all these gigawatts of energy generated during the night but unused and unsold from the 15 nuclear, and many many other associated coal, windy-mills, wave, bio-mass etc generators - get into the lake in Wales?Richie-from-the-Boro wrote: »
- generation at low demand times, a bit like night store heaters then, finding a use for generated but unused energy, is it ?
- how much of this low demand / no demand is absorbed by this wonderful Dinorwig reservoir ?
- how many mi££ions of hard cash is running power stations through the night that can't be switched off ?
Assuming as you say the concept of waste is impossible, are you are saying all power generated from any source including coal, windy-mills, wave, bio-mass etc generators in the UK, are all going to Dinorwig too and that's why there is no wasted electricity in the UK ?Richie-from-the-Boro wrote: »Everything I write on this forum is my opinion.

Need to try harder then!

~~~snip the Linux-espresso from another time ~~~
- can I assume you don't know how they get all that leccy to Dinorwig ?
- do they dip the live cables in the lake to warm it up, go on tell me is that how they do it ?
- is that why there's no wasted leccy ?, I never believed they used electrified cardboard box's - honest !Disclaimer : Everything I write on this forum is my opinion.
