We're so screwed if the lights go off there isn't much spare capacity as it is.
I’m amazed how much propaganda can accomplish.
there isn’t much spare capacity as it is.
That would apply in spades, (no pun intended) to the good old USA.
I would love to be around when reality eventually arrives on our shores. I liken it all to basic ignorance of the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
God giveth unlimited coal and man in ignorance, spits in his eye and says, I know better.
It’s a good saying but yes our “grids” are already at or near capacity
You’re right and this will be passed on without doubt it has happened here lots of complaints about energy bills
the end of the west by self suicide
is Britain is trading North Sea oil for coal? sounds good except they seem to shoot themselves in the foot: “Sir Keir Starmer’s plans, announced nearly two months ago, would see the windfall tax on oil and gas profits be increased to a total of 78%...”.

In some countries they use their oil windfall to send checks to citizens or for other public good i.e in Norway
In the UK they p*ss it away it literally vanishes down a black hole like an extra few billion on some balance sheet.
It’s wrong....
Brilliant!!
The world has a 300 year supply of coal but now Cold dark winters are coming by the same people that killed the nuclear power industry and covered farm land with solar panels and windmills.
Average Energy Bill in the UK, gas and electric
1991 £847
1999 £666
2019 £1254
2024 £1640
Which means that people use less energy which means a lower standard of living while paying more. YAY Communism.
What is their substitute for coal? Knowing the left, they probably said electricity will replace coal.
May they green to death
Interesting that their last coal plant shuts down almost to the day as their last real steel furnace.
Britain may have led the world into the Industrial Revolution 3 centuries or so ago, but now they’re exiting and have decided to feudal, warring, society again.
The end-game of Universal Voting is now taking place.
It’s not madness.
From a couple of weeks ago, UK related, also related to the most recent Trump assassination attempt...

Great Britain has huge coal reserves.
The whole industrial revolution was powered by coal.
I guess, they are going back to stone age.
Oh, no, even the stone age man used coal to warm himself, in places, where it was easy to get!
Deep State is still exporting huge amounts of our coal.
Guess who’s getting some of it...
