    IMHO it's not renewables that are causing the problems - it's because we've privatised a services which should be run in the national interest. So we've got a whole bunch of people that don't care about the overall picture just trying to do whatever they can to make some money. And don't start me on gas..
    Or water! When that is privatised you can be sure the unscrupulous frogs will be at the front of the line.

    I don't think privatising the power network is any to do with the issues from the luny renewable being spread out all over the country. There is no fixing this, not without trying to re-do over 100years of power infrastructure in a short time.

    I do believe privatising has made everything less reliable and much more expensive ... EVERYWHERE it has been privatised. After all, making money is the only thing that matters above all else.

    After my suggestion the other day that younger people just aren't interested in cars like we are, and that people can't even drive manuals anymore.
