Winter high pressure causes renewable energy crisis

 

The notice at Watchtree said that the solar powered card reader wasn't working. This has been a UK-wide problem in the second half of December because an area of high pressure settled in but gave cloudy skies instead of the clear blue skies often associated with a high. So solar electricity was severely reduced at the same time that very light winds reduced wind power to almost zero. Diversity of sources will help us to cope. But as we make cash in Wigton, there was still the option to donate that way.
