This pretty much negates the entire point of the blog post.
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

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

Show me the figures that say we're running out.
It is a finite resource, I agree but just how much of it is there?
