a total ****ing mess, and La Nina means its bloody cold.


In fact La Nina hasn't really kicked in yet. It bottoms out about 12
months after El Nino peaks (or it did for the 2007-2008 combination),
so sometime around January! That'll be fun. Have we got enough OCGT's
to cope?


Nope. Not with half Frances nukes grounded.

OCGTS fired up yesterday and the day before in an effort not to crash
the grid, Prices went sky high.

Thank you Miliband, Huhne Euroclots and the other Cnuts.
