Ooooooh Dear ... What have they done ??

Britain gets an average of around 62 sunny days per year (1500 hours), but obviously you’d have to be unlucky for a windless cold snap to occur during a period of low sunshine, like what happened last January. In any case, global warming is set to eliminate cold snaps in Britain. Any minute now.
*** However, Ms Porter said there was a “real risk of blackouts towards the end of the decade” if the final coal plant closes as planned in September and nuclear power stations shut down as scheduled without additional capacity coming online.It comes as temperatures in the UK plummet and could go as low as -10 Celsius in the coming days. It is expected to lead to higher demand for electricity.
While pressure on the grid has been lessened by good wind power generation on Monday, the coming days could prove more challenging if this changes.
In this instance, the National Grid ESO, which operates the transmission network, could resort to paying families to turn off their washing machines, fridges and other appliances to manage demand.
