ELECTRICITY DEMAND COULD OUTSTRIP SUPPLY BY 2015
The energy crisis is far worse and will begin hitting far earlier than the Government believes, a top power industry consultant has claimed.
A report from LogicaCMG states that by 2015 energy demand could outstrip supply by 23% with climate change and demand for electricity to power air-conditioning causing blackouts all year round.
LogicaCMG says its analysis contrasts with the warning in the Government's Energy Review which suggested that by 2025 demand could outstrip supply by 30%.....
------------------------
This should be taken very seriously. It is is grossly irresponsible for politicians to ignore this & witter on about somebody some day finding a working sort of renewable that might give us enough power or indeed about spending 5 years doing the paperwork before we start building reactors. People are going to die in large numbers if we have blackouts.
