UK government has plan for winter blackouts

I see an emerging market for portable home generators.

No problem. Food is so expensive, the refrigerators are practically empty anyway.

"The priority will be ensuring that gas is available for heating, with electricity being a lower priority." Good luck running your gas heat without electricity.

Instead of saving trees, they'll start burning them.

Trees will be a thing of the past in jolly olde England. Just put a pot of food over the wood fire, like they did in the Dark Ages. This old children's poem will have a resurgence: Peas poridge hot, peas poridge cold, Peas poridge in the pot, nine days old.

The Left is so progressive on all things sexual and not much else. Who is it that wants to take us back to the Dark Ages?

Green Energy means freezing in thr dark. Always.

The U.S. has a very large amount of natural gas that we can export to all of Europe for their winter needs but eco-nuts are in control here. So much for being an ally of the needy. Brandon will have their frozen souls on his hands.

Welcome to feudal life, peasants.

Re #1, I bought Generac stock.

Re #8, nice in theory, but exporting NG to Europe is extremely difficult with the technology currently in place. This is LNG ships, liquified natural gas ships. It requires a good deal of energy to chill the NG and compress it to the pressures and temperatures necessary to become a liquid. The huge dewars required to keep it cold and pressurized are extremely expensive, about four or five huge spherical dewars per ship. And then at the other end, a special port facility with the ability to offload this very dangerous cargo and then heat it up to turn in back into gaseous form to go into pipelines. Ships and port facilities on both ends are very limited, cannot be instantly conjured up from thin air, and a lot fo energy is consumed in this type of shipping. And it is very dangerous. If an LNG ship is in a conventional harbor, which almost always has a densely populated city wrapped around it, some sort of a collision or other accident can leak huge quantities of LNG which can form a layer over the water, spreading and mixing with air until it finds an ignition source, often ashore. This could involve literally square miles of a flammable vapor cloud and cause immense destruction in the port city. For this reason, most LNG loading and offloading facilities are in the open ocean away from land by a few miles, and have a underwater pipeline to carry the LNG from the ship to the facility to turn the liquid back to a gas. Not a minor project to create, and it takes years to do, adds a LOT of cost to the delivered LNG.

NG is very expensive. Those able to may want to buy a home generator but I doubt they would be as popular as here for many reasons. As Nigel Farange panel discussed other day, we may be sure the elites and Royal palaces will have all the power they wish to have for certain. In Germany, folks are out cutting wood in previously untouchable ancient forest lands. The Deutsche local media surprisingly saying nothing…. My heart goes out to them.

Liz Truss at least had a plan for developing more energy. They dumped her for the guy whose plan is to shut off the heat and let them freeze to death. Be assured that there will be no rolling blackouts at his house. It’s too late for people to ‘rise up’. They’ll be howling at the moon. Suck it up.

I hope it includes making a deal with Mike Lindell for thousands of blankets.
