Screw the Limeys, they deserve to freeze in the dark.
Including the Aristocrats.
Seems like they’re lacking power to ramp up their war machine

My spy at Buckingham Palace overheard King Charlie on a three-way conference call. Al Gore and Greta Thunberg were both screaming at Charlie as he wept uncontrollably.
It is indeed a sad day at the palace.
So, we need global warming so that we can reduce energy needs for heating? This is getting complex. I’m glad Greta’s on the job.
Yep, King Putz will be sobbing and inconsolable
Maybe more people will see that all of this green energy crap wasn’t well thought out, and it was never meant to be. It is simply a short-term effort to redistribute wealth into the pockets of a corrupt few. But I doubt this recognition will occur. There are too many others on the right to blame. “If those obstacles from the right were not in place and more money was spent, then the green energy nirvana would have been achieved.”
Gee, let me see. If the wind doesn’t blow then windmills don’t go. If the snows are heavy and the temperature drops in spite of global warming the solar panels go to sleep. I don’t see any problem and that can’t possibly affect the US because of all the hot air coming out of DC.
Leftists are such gullible idiots.
And those shortages were caused not by environmental factors, but by striking miners. Margaret Thatcher subsequently destroyed the British deep-mined coal industry, not because it wasn't 'green', but to end the power of the unions.
All the more reason for diversifying energy sources, which can be disrupted by many other external factors (such as, at present war) as well as unpredictable weather. The idea that fossil fuels are somehow wholly dependable when renewables aren't is grossly overstated.
As it happens, the UK already has one of Europe's most diversified energy budgets (albeit one that has developed fairly haphazardly), and has thus been less affected than most by the Russian gas withdrawal.
The article does make rather a meal of straightforward (and successful) contingency planning. There were no generation outages.
