Proceeding contribution from Michael Connarty (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 19 April 2007. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Nuclear Industry.


Nuclear Industry

I am sorry to take the hon. Gentleman up on this. If a huge array of wind power was generating electricity in the north of Scotland on a very windy day and there was a problem with the grid connection at some point down the line, the same problem would occur: energy that had nowhere to go would be coming down the grid, so all the wind farms would have to be switched off.
