It will not be long now before sensible people, and sensible businesses, start buying their own private electricity generators. The time is soon coming when power blackouts will be common in Britain, in the way they already are in the Third World. But they will be much worse than in the Third World, because we have become so dependent on electronics for everything we do. Our whole commercial system, our phone network, our banks and our transport will simply come to a halt, for long, unpredictable periods each day, and probably cease to function in the middle of the night as well.
According to Hitchins
It is a sign of just how useless our political leaders are that they have done nothing to avoid this danger, being obsessed instead with the questionable problems of allegedly man-made global warming.
The article paints a gloomy scenario for the future energy of the country but Hitchins makes a valid point within all the scaremongering that polititians form all sides have not really addressed the long term future of our energy supplies.
The reason is the political realities of today with short term voter aspirations driving far more our future eneergy policy than long term and unpopulr solutions.
Hats off to the party that takes this issue by the horns
