When David Cameron’s energy bill was being discussed in Parliament in 2013, the word on everybody’s lips was ‘trilemma’: how to ensure that energy was affordable, reliable and low-carbon. So the only way to make renewables reliable is to back them up, expensively, with some other power source, responding to fluctuations in demand and supply.
