Previously on "UK to end constant supply of Electricity"
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
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.
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)

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

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.
No we're not. We're just reliant on a bunch of self-important dictators to provide the stuff.
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?
There is oil, but some of it is not economical to get. So when people say we are running out of oil soon, they mean the economical to acquire stuff. We may never run out of oil because some of it would cost more to get than it is worth.
Three cheers for the UK who will be doing their bit to stop global warming.
Unfortunately I won't be able to join you in your crusade because I live abroad.
