An OFGEM report today has warned of power blackouts by 2015-2016 as there will be only 4% spare capacity where all coal and oil fired power stations will have to close by then under EU regulations. Why is Germany opening new coal fired power stations then, where they have found wind turbines don't work, but we are shutting ours?

The reason I say it will happen in the title, where the report says might happen, is that lump of green slime Ed Davey stating: “Security of electricity supply is of critical importance to the health of the economy and the smooth functioning of our daily lives. That is why the Government is reforming the electricity market to deliver secure, clean and affordable electricity,” 

So in the winter of 2015, during an Arctic ridge of high pressure with no winds, and exceptionally cold temperatures, you now know what is going to happen.
