Winter solstice in Edinburgh.

Sunrise was at 8:42am: Sunset is due at 3:39pm, for a total of 6 hours and 57 minutes of daylight.

(Meanwhile, over on my blog comments earnest Australians keep trying to convince me that solar power is the solution to all our energy needs. Hint: up here, demand peaks at night—for heating—not during daylight hours for cooling.)

@cstross not a lot of solar generation at dual latitude to Edinburgh either. Not much of anything except cold southern ocean

@donsbot @cstross It's pretty breezy there. Some big windmills would do a brisk business in the furious 50s if you could find a place to put them.
