"The Industrial Communities Alliance (ICA), an all-party association of councils from across Britain, said National Grid needed to act immediately"
Successive Governments have ignored this problem for far too long.
Building work at Hinkley Point C has still yet to start ! We need to do something before its too late.
Why are the authorities not listening ?

Personally I'd doubt there'd be power cuts. A few power reductions and bringing mothballed stuff on line tends to enable them to cope. But we'll see.
For sure they need to bring more clean sources on as soon as possible though. What with a growing population needing supplies and the drive to move from petrol/diesel to electric transport...

Boy who cried wolf.
There have been predictions of blackouts every year for the last couple of decades.
Here's one from 2005. They never happen.

Nowt to do with environmentalists or renewable energy.
The Government have not built any new power stations because it doesn't build power stations. Electricity generation is privatised, and they make the decisions.
We need generation from a diverse number of sources, renewables as well as fossil.

Since most our main power suppliers are owned by either German or French companies, I first thought this was a scare story on behalf of the 'stay-ins'.
But it wasn't, so I suggest we wait until next winter before we start to show concern, in the meantime nip out and buy your candles before the EU ban them on the grounds of air pollution.
