> So we are going to have to pay massive sums of money to wind producers to shut off production. And we are still going need masses of gas backup which is going to be used increasingly inefficiently to pick up the slack. Ireland is a good example of this. One of the reasons that Ireland has not been able to increase wind farms is because they don't have the ability to export it rapidly. The last time the interconnect with GB was cut, they had to shut down a bunch of wind farms. There was big news a while ago about building a new interconnect to France which should allow for more wind farms in Ireland while relying on french "nuclear batteries"
