When the CEO of the National Grid says on Radio 4:
I can't help feeling that when he says this it means, power won't be there when you need it.
or...
means you can watch TV when the wind is blowing.
I like the way he dresses this up as a "Smart Grid". What is going to happen is that your house will be controlled by some Engineer at the local Wind Farm, and when the wind drops you get switched off. The other alternative is that a big siren goes off in the cellar to warn you that the price has gone up to £500 per KwH.
We keep thinking that we want it to be there and provide power when we need it.
or...
“We are going to change our own behaviour and consume it when it is available and available cheaply.”
