You've been drinking, haven't you? You should do it more often. Or get some drugs from your 'service users'.

Not a drop and I doubt I could handle the genetically modified stuff they are smoking these days!

Don't start that rumour ffs

On a serious note, I believe what the OP said. We are heading for an energy crisis. A hard winter could have tremendous political fallout if the lights go out as a result.

We're closing our coal-fired stations – Germany's building loads of new ones.

We're putting our economy in the hands of windmills.

It's all very quaint to talk about making do with candles and wood-burning fireplaces, but the truth is that we are totally reliant on the microchip — for food, transport, health services, banking, policing, etc.

Significant outages would cause severe problems for our society as a whole. A chilling prospect.

How timely!

All the energy suppliers know that we need to build more capacity, but they are sitting on their hands waiting for the kind of subsidies that the windmill peddlers are getting. The government are starting to cave in, too, as they start to get desperate. Chinese sniffing round Hinckley point with a view to building a new reactor, with a 30 year guarantee on the price per MWH @ 3 x wholesale price IIRC. Chinese reactor.. Hmm. Give me a candle any day.

[Vamps]

new gas stations and new nuclear stations that you're going to hear about very shortly."

Remind me, how long does it take to build a nuclear power station?......ffs stop with all the rather windmills................   As someone said, we rely so much on electricity for almost all of our services and activities, that power cuts would hit harder than ever in history, and bring everything to a stop..................... Must pop to the bank and get some cash out.....

Yes the Chinese are renowned for building quality products arn't they?

Electric cars are the way forward

[Nickbat]

Electric cars are the way forward

And how do you charge an electric car if there's no power coming through the socket? 

[Marks DTM Calib]

The more electric cars we get the worse it will get........so its actualy Guffers fault!

I think there was a hint of irony in hoody's post
