Is still more expensive, very much less reliable and produces more CO2 and kills more people per TWh than nuclear power

Dr Doug Parr, chief scientist and policy director at Greenpeace UK, added: ?Nobody noticed the lights going off because the intermittent wind was not blowing,? alluding to critics of renewable energy who argue that such technologies are unreliable because it is at the mercy of the sun, wind and rain.

?We are still nowhere near the limit of renewable energy the system can deal with in terms of the intermittency issue,? Dr Parr said, adding that onshore wind is the cheapest form of low-carbon energy.
