The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine Anymore

I was walking on the hills above Callendar this afternoon and noticed that of all the wind turbines I could see (and I could see many), only 2 were turning. It got me thinking that if we stop burning coal (we seem to have stopped digging for it), if we decommission the nuclear plants and the sun never shines (as this is Scotland), what do we do to stop the lights going out.
Then I remembered - Alex Salmond thinks the sun shines out of his own arse - solar power on guaranteed supply for a generation.
