> where does it all come from? The UK doesn't have a lot of sunshine, nor do I see a lot of wind farms compared to other EU countries
For Scotland at least the stats are:
- Onshore wind 7.8GW
- Hydro 1.655GW
- Offshore wind 0.623GW
- Solar PV 0.344GW

Looking at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renewable_energy_in_the_United... it isn't quite as clear for the UK as a whole but is probably a similar breakdown.
