A small morsel of good news for those of you like me, car owners who live near Co-op petrol stations. Generally these are quite pricey for petrol.
However, the chain has now been sold to Asda so hopefully we'll be seeing lower prices under Asda's ownership by the end of the year.

We don't have the same geography as Norway. You still need the geography for a reservoir at the bottom. We have 200 hydro-electric plants, but all they can summon up at the moment is 0.08GW.
Pumped storage still needs night-time gas generated electricity, so where's the savings? If there are upper limits to generating capacity, then you are just bringing forward the time of the gas-generated electricity.
