Is that a fair criticism? ..... large scale energy developments have lead times measured in decades .... up til now the forces driving increased demand have been well understood and planned for ..... even ten years ago, who would have predicted the current snap PR-motivated decisions around the abandonment of gas for heating and rapid phasing out of other fossil fuel use ... and the political rather than economic/technical decision to transfer to electric transport in a very short time span?.
I guess there's lots of crisis planning going on in the generation and transmission industries.
