[QUOTE="Exfarmer, post: 7954736, member: 1951"] This puff is the most ludicrous piece of tripe conceivable. The government has demolished the vast bulk of the old coal fired stations, we can at most now produce about 3 gigawatt I think from the black stuff. In theory we have total generating capacity of 80 gigawatt but this is made up of 24 G of wing and 14G of solar, ie nearly half Renewable other ie AD etc is about 4.5G and hydro about 1.5G Then we have about 6.5G nuclear So we have about 12.5 G of reliable non carbon power, this will not change in a hurry certainly no way by next winter if we are to use less gas! We currently have about 34G of gas powered generation and we need an absolute minimum on an average winters day of 45G We also have virtually no storage for gas to build up reserves thanks to decisions made by recent governments short sightedness Who would run a farm with 4days storage of diesel!
