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.
