Anyone see the irony of the recent power cut?

We are told by Turnip etc that wind power has no place in generating
our energy. As the wind doesn't blow 24/7.

Yes when we have a technical failure of a large windfarm, and a
conventional generator at the same time, we have a power cut which
effected millions of people.

But the nuclear lot want to put all our eggs in the one basket...

Not just one nuclear power station. And, preferably, not just one
design of nuclear power station. This is not a new problem.


Why do you think 'eggs' refers to one?
