UK to end constant supply of Electricity

[BlasterBates]

Don't be naive. Like all good conspiracies, the AGW one is worldwide. You cannot escape your shafting. Your only hope is to be generous with your lube.

In the country I live in they're building new Nuclear power stations, and they have no wind generation at all.

You will be living in a country with a "wind" economy.

Of course, rather than relying on some random blogger talking about a newspaper cutting somebody scanned and sent him (I thought the Telegraph had a web site he could have linked to?), you could listen to the actual interview. You would then discover that the "talk of dwindling gas supplies" which said blogger finds so sinister doesn't actually appear anywhere in the interview, but has been introduced by the Telegraph journalist. This pretty much negates the entire point of the blog post.

Don't take a job in the newspaper industry. You wouldn't last five minutes.

Well I think the point of the post is:

The days of constant availability of Electricity are numbered......The grid is going to be a very different system in 2020....We keep thinking we want it to be there when we need it.....We are going to change our behaviour and consume it when it is available

"We keep thinking we want it to be there when we need it "(very 20th century perception on life)

i.e. when the wind doesn't blow your lights go out.

He devoted most of the interview to talking about the pressing need to build new power stations. He didn't say a thing about wind turbines until the interviewer brought them up right at the end
