"Never let a crisis go to waste", what was an emergency measure will become a permanent feature. In order to get the check, one must install a smart meter where the grid operator or government can remotely cut off the power. Britain used to be the leading economic power of the world now on the path to regular rolling blackouts just like a 3rd world country. This path to poverty is being driven by green energy and continued importation of Albanians and 3rd worlders. You bring in 3rd world people, you become a 3rd world country.

Very much agree.
No reason in the world supplies are “tight” other than self induced reasons like waiting for wind to blow and the sun to shine...in England...in winter.
We are collectively mad.

The US is exporting record amounts of our energy.
Where in Hades is it going?!
Not to the UK evidently, which is being forced by its Deep State to pay for the sin of trying to Brexit.

All energy is evil, except when The Ruling Class uses it. When The Ruling Class uses energy, it is for the benefit of all mankind (as long as The Ruling Class gets 90% of it). Once all the serfs have their Carbon Footprints regulated to one light bulb a year, only MSLSD & CNN for news, the Earth will stop warming / cooling / warming / cooling.

A step towards, you’ll own nothing and be happy but we’ll give you a little allowance(UBI) to buy gadgets that we profit from.

As long as their cell phones work. That’s all that matters.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Global_Trap
In particular, the book is known for defining a possible “20/80 society”. In this possible society of the 21st century, 20 percent of the working age population will be enough to keep the world economy going. The other 80 percent live on some form of welfare and are entertained with a concept called “tittytainment”,[2] which aims at keeping the 80 percent of frustrated citizens happy with a mixture of deadeningly predictable, lowest common denominator entertainment for the soul and nourishment for the body.

DUHHHHhhhhhhhh... That’s thinking like an idiot government bureaucrat...!!!
There is already flexible pricing for peak hours. That is why you can set a timer to start your dishwasher at night.
Just raise the rate during peak hours to a number high enough to make people think on their own about shutting them off at those times...
You MAKE money, and get some income to help build out the grid.
Stupid stupid stupid...

Anyone else notice something interesting...
Deep States appear to be retrenching.
UK now has Sunak, no election.
NZ now has Chris Hipkins, no election.
Our Deep State looks like it’s planning on kicking the POTATUS it installed to the curb.
His replacement, just like the others, won’t have been elected.
Better prepare for incoming, folks.
Looks like Deep States are determined to stick around.
