There’s a good article on TCW about the giant new solar farm proposed in Cambridgeshire:

We are naturally all familiar with the intermittency of solar power in terms of seasonal and day/night. But Julian Flood also raises the issue of reduced generation during cloudy or foggy weather.
I have heard this idea pooh poohed by renewable enthusiasts, who argue that it makes little difference – something about photons apparently!
However a look at this weeks solar power data shows this is nonsense.
https://www.solar.sheffield.ac.uk/pvlive/#
The last three days have been sunny, but Monday and Tuesday were rather dull, though certainly not foggy here.
As a result solar power, which peaked at over 4 GW Wednesday to Friday, did not even reach 1 GW on Monday.

No one looks good in the Novak Djokovic Deportation saga, but ponder what it says about the vaccines. We’re deporting the best tennis player in the world — not because of the germs he might spread, but to because of the ideas he might spread.
“It’s in the public interest” says the Immigration Minister
While some are cheering One Rule for All, ponder that we’re punishing someone because of what other people might do?
Immigration minister Alex Hawke didn’t dispute Djokovic’s claim of a medical exemption… [he] said allowing the player to stay could sway some Australians against getting vaccinated.
“Mr. Djokovic’s presence in Australia may pose a health risk to the Australian community in that his presence in Australia may foster antivaccination sentiment,” Hawke said in a document detailing his decision.
“His presence in Australia, given his well-known stance on vaccination, creates a risk of strengthening the antivaccination sentiment of a minority of the Australian community,” Hawke said in the cancellation notice.
It’s a free speech battle.
If Australia can’t guarantee players in a Grand Slam will be free of political interference we don’t deserve to host one. Two other players with medical exemptions arrived in Australia and were moving around freely, but turned around and left.
Some say deporting Djokovic is a victory for “one rule for all”. But only the unvaxxed will be given a legal visa, allowed to fly in, detained, and post hoc have all their details scrutinized by teams of lawyers and be turned into a media circus and a “lesson” for the public.
How many vaccinated tennis players got things wrong on their forms? Who knows? Apparently no one verified the details of Novak’s forms before he was given a visa, so presumably no one checked any other ones either. Will the Australian government go through all the vaccinated players applications now and arrest them on court if any got things wrong?
The unvaccinated are being punished and singled out.
Why did they issue him a visa in the first place?

…
What sacrifice exactly are we protecting?
Prime Minister Scott Morrison:
“Australians have made many sacrifices during this pandemic, and they rightly expect the result of those sacrifices to be protected,” he said Friday evening.
Perhaps Scott Morrison is afraid that people who had been forced into getting a vaccine they really didn’t want would realize they were bullied into it, and should have had a choice?
Because we are certainly not protecting the hard border any more. Australia has had 1.5 million cases of Omicron (that we know of) in the last four weeks. All of whom ultimately caught it in a chain from a double-vaccinated traveller.
As Alexandra Marshall @ellymelly says:
#Scomo said that #covid19 vaccination is NOT mandatory.
#Scomo had Alex Hawke throw #Novak out of the country for ‘inciting’ antivaxx sentiment.
How can you be deported for ‘inciting’ sentiment against a health order that ISN’T mandatory?
In the latest news a judge (or three) will decide Sunday if Djokovic can stay.
