get what?
Hotel Chocolat's new vegan manufacturing process cuts the number of staff required from 36 to 6, which in Graun eyes seems to be a good thing.

UK sets new record for wind power generation
New record of 87.2% also set for share of electricity on grid coming from renewables and nuclear
Transport/transmit, not store.

so many kettles
Once we've dug a big enough hole to keep all of those storage kettles in, our ability to rely exclusively on the variable supply that wind offers will be complete, according to new analysis by the Guardian

We can’t store any electricity from any source. No big banks of batteries. It’s generate it and use it.

Exactly, but the article referred to wind power.
We can (and do) use pumped storage hydro to store excess electrical energy as gravitational potential energy.

So we pump water up a hill so we can let it go when we want and generate lecky?
Are there many examples?

Current UK pumped storage capacity is trivial though IIRC.
e2a: Total UK capacity is 2.4 gigawatts. Demand at the time of writing this sentence is 37 gigawatts.

Storage is one of the things we'll aim to have a hell of a lot more of in future as part of the flexibility electricity system. It could easily end up being the difference between success and failure in terms of our energy transition.
Its modest part of the historic and current UK picture is why I was having a go at the Guardian for going on about storage instead of transmission. We do move a hell of a lot of electricity southwards, from Scotland to England and from northern England to southern England. There are various projects to expand further on this in the years ahead, plenty of bottlenecks at the moment.

Aye like, so it is.
They are starting to put in batteries at windfarms, for example:
Battery at Pen y Cymoedd
Battery at Pen y Cymoedd is located at Vattenfall's largest onshore wind farm in South Wales. The project is an innovation in grid stabilisation services. The battery can respond in less than a second to the needs of the Nationl Grid to help keep a stable supply of electricity to UK homes

"The councillor said the ever-growing online attention had caused people to attempt riskier crossings in recent months. “There was a motorcyclist who approached it at 50mph, went full pelt, and came straight off head over heels over the handlebars. He went so fast he bounced all the way along the water before collapsing on the other side in a heap. It is life-threatening.”
