Providied I didn;t open it too often, makes you wonder why they don't make friges and freezers with sufficiently thick walls
Not everyone can have their flat or house walls 3 foot or more thick. Most modern building are just a couple of pieces of plasterboard and a gap.
like coal and gas? it's renewable isn't it, sure it may take a few million years, but it's renewable all the same,
They'd get re-invented before too long
Wind, tides, geothermal hydro, etc.
Same problem as solar - zero guaranteed output and no ability to dispatch based on need.
(not to mention reducing the economic viability of dispatchable and controllable plant)
Too expensive and too environmentally damaging, combined with inadequate generating capacity.
Insufficient suitable sites in the UK, and lack of capacity.
Most practical large scale sites already developed in the UK, insufficient capacity.
What about something we could actually use harry?
Nuclear is the best answer.
With some CCGT in the mix.
If we also have to have some renewable energy, I would go for tidal flow (not tidal barrage). However, it is never going to be anything like a complete answer.
The point is we don't. Have to have any 'renewable' bunny hugging tree hugging energy .
Once you have any nuclear at all, the principle is established and you might as well save yourself a huge amount of money and have as much of it as your baseload will stand, and then some.

Just a load of s**te which is much the same thing
Unfortunately parliament's full of them and they are the ones who make the policies.
As long as you don't open the door to often. A bit difficult in a household with teenage grazers.
Well referring to gridwatch the French gave it well sorted, mainly Nuclear and a fair old bit of Hydro and flog the spare to Germany and other Euro countries inc the UK;!...

You mean it's not flat?
Nuclear is the only answer
Put a door lock on that only releases when there is power :-)
In the early days of freezers in Canada, that is exactly what was done - but there was a key override to stop you starving.
Ah, you mean places like Hawaii.

Yes I appreciate that. My point was that as long as you run the system at freezing point it is 80 times as effective as a hot water bottle (not strictly a valid sum, but I hope you see what I mean). But if you try to run it as a *freezer* by adding salt, you use up the latent heat much more quickly.
Going back to TNP's point, I wonder what the planners would make of an application claiming that 3 metres of stone met the required U value.
