This is silly.

(Not the mapping, which is great.)

And yet, England has a Green Party opposed to more power lines 🤷‍♂️

I get the feeling that grid upgrades aren't happening as fast as they could because it's a break upon renewable energy usage and there's a lot of vested wealth against renewables.

I'd need to investigate more before I'd be willing to say, "I think that grid..." but as of now, it niggles at me.

The grid upgrades are in progress - there's a lot going on! www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c9vleryw41ro

But building a new power line takes ages. The wind farms generating all the unused power really haven't been around for all that long - it's not surprising that they got built faster than the grid upgrades.
