Apparently they overlooked, ignored, or were never fed the truth, and reality of green, and renewables.

It's astonishing the degree of ignorance in the average American when it comes to basics like electricity, clean water, sewage system and the like. Most people today simply cannot comprehend with a thin thread that their comfortable existence is hanging by. I'm sure it's just as bad in the UK.

The pundits in the MSM and other places have been telling the average troglodyte that renew-ables like wind and solar are going to solve our energy problems. Excrement, and that's putting it as mildly as I can. You would think that Joe Sixpack could at a minimum understand that Solar Panels don't produce at night, when it's raining, or especially when covered with snow. But apparently this as escaped Joe and Jane Sixpack.

So I'm convinced that Brownouts and Blackouts are in our future. That's probably the only thing that these foolish types understand. It would probably be a good thing for the average so called "Green" to go for a few days without power or water. That is what might wake up some of these fools. And I'm at a stage where I think this might be the only thing that will wake up these idiots.

Sad but true I’m afraid.

The problem is that it takes time to build new power generation facilities. If the UK is going to keep the lights on we need to start building NOW, whatever we plump for. These squalid arguments about which way to go are now counterproductive.

Personally, I have no problem with wind and solar power being part of the generation solution. There is every indication that with a little development they could both be significant players, LOCALLY. You are right though, they are never going to solve all of our energy generation problems.
