When You Have to Depend on the French or It's Lights Out, You Must Be in England
|
[HotAir] Shaping up to be a terrific place, and one that is also lurching, under the sway of Labour climate cultists drunk on power, into a self-induced energy catastrophe.
I covered how close they came to a near island-wide blackout back in January, as temperatures plunged, their much vaunted wind died away, and the two gas plants that did kick in to pick up the slack made £12m for three hours of operation.
The other part of the problem that night caused by the extreme demand and brutal conditions?
The interconnector lines that the country relies on from the European continent experienced significant outages. The only thing that saved Britain from a blackout was being able to bring one of the interconnectors back online in the nick of time. And the fact that one of the gas plants didn't trip while running at peak capacity.
There was no capacity to spare.
Of course, Labour - specifically Energy Minister Ed Miliband - was frightened into a realistic assessment of just where their lunacy was taking the country's energy independence, right?
Perhaps a change of course, more emphasis on reliability vice the windmills of their fevered Green minds?
'Tis to laugh...or cry, depending on where you live.
The big plan from the British government is to rely on more imported electricity to cover what reliable baseline sources they're stripping off the island with their policies, counting mainly on the French nuclear program to keep British lights and heat on.
The same interconnectors that had outages not five months ago, and the British government 'hopes' to have more cables laid by 2030.
What a plan.
The country is increasing its reliance on things that stop turning or 'switch off at night' while simultaneously increasing its reliance on imported sources of the very thing they're removing in their own country at ruinous cost.
And Labour keeps pulling the renewables knife across the British throat for their farcical NetZero Kabuki theater.
Miliband is destroying more baseline capacity generation, even as his efforts are failing to force British citizens into appliances run on electricity that is already an unreliable resource at an unholy cost.
