When the scorpion has killed a little more of the “frog”, say a couple more coal-fired power stations, there will be a tipping point when there is not enough conventional power left to keep the lights on through windless nights, or dinnertimes during a wind drought. However the scorpion is slowly and steadily killing the frog by undercutting the price of coal in the market. RE is like the scorpion, getting a ride on the back of the frog.Īs long as the frog is strong enough to carry the scorpion, that is, to provide all the power that is demanded by the grid on windless nights, the lights will stay on and nobody will be alarmed Quite simply because solar and wind providers are not covering the cost of “firming” that is, filling the gaps on windless nights between the peak levels of RE supply on sunny and windy days. Why is RE so much cheaper than coal power? We are told that it is so much cheaper that coal can’t compete, and indeed it will be a great benefit if the old coalers close well in advance of their normal lifetimes. As the installed capacity of RE increases on the back of subsidies and mandates it erodes the financial viability of coal power. So they set out, and midway across the river the scorpion stung the frog.Īs they both went down the frog said “Why did you do that?”Ĭonsider the relationship between renewable energy and the energy from conventional sources, mostly coal. The scorpion replied that he would not do that because if he stung the frog as they crossed the river he would drown himself. The frog objected, saying that the scorpion might sting him if he was on the frog’s back. The scorpion asked the frog for a ride on the frog’s back because the scorpion could not swim. Final Rating: "Give it a go, you'll never know until you try it." 8/10 (It has everything that you'd want to see in a show starring a kid called Hank Zipzer.The frog and the scorpion arrived at the edge of a river at the same time. With all due respect, Hank Zipzer manages to impress me, so let it impress you. This has elements from those three shows. Honestly, If you love shows like: Horrid Henry, Dennis the Menace, All At Sea, - you will love this.
MISTER ZIPSTER SERIES
I strongly support the young actors and actresses – I'm loving the series so-far and can't wait for another one to hit the Box.
What really amazed me about this show was the fact that Hank Zipzer the TV-Series has already gotten a great rating on IMDb. The show does a great job of introducing Hank to new-comers. However, you don't need to read the books to understand the series. He also has many books, I strongly recommend you read the books. If you didn't know already, Hank Zipzer is also known as, Hank. However, it has the perfect amount of comedy – and has a very strong cast to help back the show up. And sometimes it is like watching a VLOG of someone's life. There are some lessons to be learnt during the episodes. He is a bit of a trouble-maker when it comes to school, but he always manages to wriggle out of it (most of the time) – he does have some allies, two friends – boy and girl – and a rock-star teacher named: Mr Rock (Henry Winkler) – a teacher who is always there for him, whenever Hank feels down.
He is always trying rather too hard or too less. Hank Zipzer is a kid, not a regular kid, although he shares the same qualities as any other kid.
