Power cuts by the weekend ?

Interesting excerpt from that, .........

We are an outlier from the rest of Europe when it comes to the role of storage in our energy system and we are now seeing the implications of that” said Chris O’Shea, Group Chief Executive of Centrica.

We sure are, outlier being another way to say sh1te.

And don't forget what brexit did. Oh, you mentioned the result

i see everyone is concentrating on the gas and missing the reason why the reserves could be used up within the next week .. No wind and cold weather so no generation there as happened in texas a couple of years ago

It's not all about the reserves though, is it

Your message must have been delayed in the system somewhere, it doesn't make any sense

British Gas warns there is only a week of supply left

UK storage sites only half full as Britain braces for low wind speeds and freezing temperatures

I used to live in a country that had a large underground gas storage capacity to tide us over a cold winter.

When it needed renovation, the Government decided that the nation's energy security was not a government duty. So it was closed.

Can you guess which country it was?

Worryingly I have been seeing social media adverts by vox pop people in the street asking if they know what to do in a power cut, I grabbed a screenshot from one. Also I have seen the same poster on the back of a bus. The stupid net zero nonsense has brought us to this. View attachment 369275

Many conspiracists say that Starmer is a WEF puppet and wants to crash the UK economy so that he can snatch our assets for the reset. We will all own nothing and be thoroughly miserable.

Seems incredible. But with Rache doing her best to damage The UK economy and Millipede ruining our energy security................................................ well all I can say is we should remember those conspiracies when we're all broke and sitting in the dark.

wants to crash the UK

That's Truss you're thinking of.

Yes, it's because we are going through a calm winter spell, as happens

And we have insufficient reserve energy stores to cope with a not-exceptionally-severe winter.

Maybe next week, or next month, or next year, will be better.

But maybe it won't.

Did winter take you by surprise?
