Telegraph Compares Solar Capacity with Nuclear!

 The naive journalist makes several references to the “massive” amounts of solar capacity on offer, for instance:

The clueless reporter evidently does not understand the difference between CAPACITY and GENERATION.

You simply cannot compare solar power, typically producing at about 10 to 15%, with nuclear, which runs at close to 100%

Worse still, that 10% is not available all year round. During December last year, it averaged only 297 MW, which is just 2% of capacity:

In summer months, solar power can peak at ten times as much, which will clearly destabilise the grid, if capacity is increased as much as the government wants.
