The energy suppliers can cope with the varying supply of wind power because there is surplus supply from elsewhere, so talk of "the current system can cope" is misleading.
Add in the effect of moving away from household gas central heating and you have further demands on the electricity system.
Going to be fun when there is a power cut in an area.
Cycling? How does that work in bad weather? News reports on cycling only seem to occur in fine weather. Try doing it in heavy wind, rain, snow, or even sunshine.

Global warming is a reality and needs to be addressed, doing so is not a gimmick or fad it's a necessary human and economic reality.

Well done to BoJo.
