Clearly the answer is more Nuclear power stations. The sooner we wake up to that fact and press on and build the better off we will all be. We import the vast majority of our gas now (represented as CCGT) in the image above.
If the Russians were to turn off the (gas) taps tomorrow not only would our gas fires and central heating be useless but at a stroke we would lose approx 40% of the Countries electricity generating capacity.
We stand but the width of a fag paper away from the next energy crisis and our politicians still pander to the Green lobby.
