THANK GOODNESS FOR GAS

I WOULD like to add to Aileen Jackson’s letter on wind farms (April 14). For much of this week almost windless conditions are dominating the UK and it brings into question the point of having wind turbines. On Tuesday (April 13) at 7am wind farms were only producing 1.5 per cent of the UK electricity demand. At the same time solar was at zero.

And by 11am wind had dropped further to only cover 0.6% of demand.

All this week gas power stations have been able to fill the deficit with their ability to massively change their output. We haven’t yet found a way to turn the wind and sun up or down.

COP 26 MUST BE CANCELLED

IT would appear that at last the UK may be controlling the Covid virus, but there are far too many countries where it is still rampant. Japan has a fourth wave, Africa is producing variants and the death rate in Brazil is escalating. Other countries are still not getting a grip on the virus.

It makes no sense for more than 30,000 people from 195 countries to be allowed to enter the UK for the COP26 conference in Glasgow. If COP26 is allowed to go ahead and there is a new outbreak of Covid causing deaths in Scotland and the UK, then politicians and organisers should be charged with manslaughter.

Clark Cross, Linlithgow.
