Oh, and be sure to go EV ASAP, to save the planet.
Here’s a crazy idea: LET’S GENERATE MORE ELECTRICITY!
People keep telling me I’m an idiotbwhen I say to never trust the liberal.
Coming soon to a country near you.

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.
soon enough they will say you can only use power for 1 hour on alternet tuesdays,,,
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.

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...
But dad I’m scared of the dark!
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.
Its what happens when you over rely on solar for electricity generation, it stops working in darkness. Duh
A wee bit of hyperbole there. We're now approaching the end of the second colder-than-average period of the winter, and so far there have been no significant outages or shortages. There are contingency planning fallbacks (several of them more substantial than the arguably cosmetic one mentioned in the article), but so far there's been no need to implement any of them at scale.
And for the avoidance of doubt - the UK National Grid is not a Government agency.
There’s no shortage like an artificial shortage.
And the little people will flock to the National Sacrifice—throwing their children into a volcano if they are told it is necessary, and with glee at their own Goodness.

"Households could receive payments of up to £20 back if they don't use ovens, washing machines, tumble dryers, dishwashers, games consoles or decide not to charge their cars during the peak (between 5pm and 6pm) tonight."
Everyone complies but at 7pm they turn everything on. No blackout? I really don't see how this will help.
