I'm just paying a higher rate because I can't be bothered with the
hassle of switching suppliers. 12p/kWh, or thereabouts.
(I would have been happier if there was a "no marginal carbon" choice,
but there wasn't.)
Does this not set off your spider sense that this is because wind can't
actually provide enough reliable electricity?
As far as I know, no one has seriously proposed having wind turbines as
the only source of electricity, so your argument is a straw man.
