Tomorrow, the UK is going to need, say... 100 units of energy and they line up all of the providers based on who's offering the cheapest prices so you say okay renewables they can offer us 70 units of energy at 5p a unit these are all completely made up numbers um so you still need more energy so you go to nuclear they can do you 20 units at 10p a unit right you still need 10 more units to make up the amount of energy you need So then you have to go to gas and they're charging you 20p a unit.
