Successive Governments have bottled out of commissioning new Nuclear Power Stations, which are the only feasible answer to providing long-term energy security for the UK.
So now the chickens are starting to come home to roost as the elderly fossil fuel plants start to fail, the geriatric nuclear plants reach the end of their life and the 'renewable' sector is hopelessly off the pace (forever?).
I'm buying candles, logs and bottled gas ... I suggest you do the same.

// The French energy giant closed its reactors at Hartlepool and Heysham 1 in Lancashire in early August after discovering "unexpected cracking" in a boiler unit. It said at the time that safety checks could take two months.
But on Thursday it announced that the reactors, which produce enough power to meet more than 4pc of winter demand, would only be returned to service gradually between the end of October and late December.
The delay leaves Britain facing the first months of winter with significantly less power capacity than had been expected to help keep the lights on. //
