    Indeed, an excellent piece. One of his best, and I had already drawn attention to it elsewhere. Anyone who wants to begin to understand our energy problems should read it.

    Do you know if I spent this much time on the internet whilst on holiday with my wife, I would be sporting two black eyes and a stiff back from sleeping on the concrete outside.

    All I’ve heard so far from Remainers in MSM is how being in the EU means we can better “Tackle” global warming but nothing about keeping the lights on.

    Reblogged this on Tallbloke's Talkshop and commented:
    Britain is well down the road to chronic electric power shortages, thanks mainly to hopelessly unrealistic EU energy policies.

    Paul : Elon Musk news ..you see that is trying to save his OLD dodgy pyramid investment scheme SolarCentury by merging it with his NEW dodgy pyramid investment scheme Tesla.
    There are various news reports eg Fortune : Why Tesla and SolarCity Have an Elon Musk Problem
