Will Blackouts Come to Britain?
Freddie Sayers is joined by energy analyst Kathryn Porter to break down the National Grid numbers and find out how Net Zero might cause blackouts by 2030.
Gas Storage Plunges to “Concerningly Low Levels”
But of much greater concern is what will happen when North Sea gas production drops away. Demand for natural gas will still remain high in winter for many years to…
We Are Close To Blackouts Now–But What About 2030?
We will no doubt muddle through again, but nobody in the media seems to be pointing to the elephant in the room; the fact that demand for electricity will start…
How Close Were We to Blackouts Yesterday?
It does not take a genius to work out why? We shut down more than 20 GW of reliable coal capacity, and thought we could replace it with medieval technology…
Europe’s Energy Debacle Is a Warning for U.S.
The United States has an opportunity to chart a more responsible, pragmatic course — one that balances economic necessities and energy security with innovative technologies:
Germany Already Rationing Energy…”Avoid Using Electric Appliances Until After 11 A.M.!
Recall that Germany’s green energy masterminds decided that it would be best to decommission the country’s fleet on nuclear power plants, and to produce weather-dependent power with wind farms operating…
‘Energy-Limited Resources’: Huge Swaths Of America Face Blackout Risks If Winter Is Bitter, Grid Watchdog Warns

Scholz’s Green Fantasy Government Collapses – Proof That Climate Policy Mania Is Ruining Germany
It’s time to stop pretending that throwing money at solar panels and wind turbines is a substitute for a stable energy policy. Germany just proved that, and Europe better be…
Grid Companies Bracing For Power Cuts
But clearly these minor events are not what Northern Powergrid have in mind. Instead it appears they are worried about major outages when we simply don’t have enough power to…
No Wind Power? Easy, Build Some More Wind Farms!
They call for more gas storage, which seems illogical when Net Zero will shut gas down anyway. In any event the value of the Rough storage facility has always been…
Why an age of energy rationing is looming over Britain
Yet some critics warn this all looks strikingly similar to rationing, especially coming at a time when electricity production continues to fall.
Gas Power Prevented a Blackout Yesterday
This incident highlights the foolhardiness of relying so much on imported electricity. At the moment, of course, we were able to plug the shortfall, presumably with gas.
Wash Post admits reality: ‘Amid explosive demand, America is running out of power’ – U.S. ‘power grid’ being pushed ‘to the brink. Utilities can’t keep up’ – ‘It is staggering’ – But WaPo frets energy shortage ‘threatens to stifle the transition to cleaner energy’
It makes you scratch your head and wonder how we ended up in this situation.
Illustrating The Absurdity Of New York’s Energy Transition
…to date, relative to this project there exists no environmental impact statement, no feasibility study, no prototype, and no demonstration project to show how this can be done, let alone…
