1.2 billion UK Poonds for 2 hours of power, and you have to replace the batteries every 12 years on average.
Sound economics, what?

Rio Tinto Says Wind And Solar Make Economic Sense, But LNP Stands In Way Of Its Plans To Save Smelters
RenewEconomy (AUS) (1/28, Parkinson) “The head of mining giant Rio Tinto has once again underlined his company’s commitment to renewables, but questions remain about the future of its giant smelters and refineries in Queensland after the new LNP state government put a halt to new wind farm approvals. The decision by the Queensland LNP – first reported by Renew Economy last week – puts a pause on the approvals of four major wind projects in the state – including the 1.4 gigawatt Bungapan wind project that is essential to Rio’s plans to wean its energy intensive industries off its dependence on coal.”

The British government lying.

"CCUS is a proven technology that captures carbon dioxide emissions before they reach the atmosphere – storing them safely and permanently deep beneath the seabed and preventing their contribution to climate change. ..."

It is far from "proven technology" Chevron's flagship Wheatstone CCUS project in Australia is a prime example of the folly of being an early adopter of the hype of the renewables straw clutch. The costs of Milliband's £22 billion CCUS boondoggle in the UK will be piled onto the consumer.

"This £21.7bn policy is going to have a very significant effect on consumers and industry’s electricity bills. Whether this is acceptable remains to be seen.

'As we are currently in the foothills of CCUS’ development into a fully functioning industry, the Government must remain alive to recent scientific evidence to adapt its approach. ..."
