Who put the lights out?

I reckon there will be riots on the streets if they can't supply enough power to keep the lights and heat on over winter.

5% extra capacity last year and 4% extra capacity this year its hardly much of a difference.

Scare mongering IMO that or some one who released the statement makes or has a lot of shares in a candle making company.

OOhh, the nostalgia, it will be like the 1970s all over again.

Tory propaganda in support of building new nuclear power stations.

[D41]

Pretty much.

[Blade]

Sounds about Right.

They try to make it so it's news but really its just a load of crap, like others have already said trying to scare us what the hell!

[duke63]

Except the margin was 17% just three years ago.

The reason its fallen is because the power stations are getting old and failing. Another one failing and a cold winter would mean there is no reserve left at all.

I thought we bought a load of electricity in from France?
