The way forward is to use less.
I use less than zero energy, so everyone could do the same and should
be.

There's "less" and "practically none".

It might have been cheaper to offer free insulation and triple glazing to
everyone that build those bloody windmills and subsidised FIT schemes.


But no, you'd rather sit on your arse and whine.

Well, yeah. It's not my job to run the bloody country. Unless I could just
walk into Westmeinster and say "Hello, I'm your new minister for long term
energy planning", there's **** all a lone voice like me, or anyone can do
about it.

The only thing I can do to try to point people I know to data like TNP's
excellent Gridwatch (that got a mention, well, 2 mentions, on ARRSE earlier
BTW, so people are noticing) - and alert people to the fact that the
country's energy supply is in a dangerous mess.
