The Australians are a real world example of what happens when you turn off your conventional power stations and go solely with green technology, they suffered massive power cuts and soon returned to the conventional power station backup..........

I'm glad its not just me, I'm not part of the oil lobby, but I can see where this is all going. Already there is discussion of individual energy /carbon budgets and to expect frequent power outages. How can any intelligent person let alone a Government even consider the acceptability of such a scenario.

I remember the impact of the 3 day week power cuts, on production processes that lost electricity during the manufacturing cycle. I worked for Grovewood Products once the biggest kitchen manufacturers in the UK trade mark Daintymaid. During the power cuts, eg any products drying in the kilns would warp once the power was cut off and the product was scrap, Within 6 months of the 3 day week, a very successful company went to the wall, along with a lot of the other furniture manufacturers all part of the Dupont Group.
