I understand that the current problems are not capacity related but it
is never the less a good indicator of where we are heading. All those
people are complaining now is just a precurser to what is going to
happen.
We also had a massive increase in the price of gas yesterday with more
to follow and what method of filling the short term gap did the
Government propose?

I'm not at ease with the legacy nuclear power leaves behind - I'm not
happy with the idea that to sort out our energy needs today we'll be
leaving a significant problem for future generations to deal with.

With actual commitment I think that a big growth in generating
electricity from renewable sources combined with the savings from
properly implemented energy efficiency means we can meet electricity
needs. I don't think this is pie in the sky wishy washy green nonsense,
I think it's attainable, but people need to really go for it.
