This is the result of the insane Green politics; and there is worse to come, a lot worse, and it is not even winter YET:

Yep. Not only closed energy plants but demolished them as well. No consideration to mothball them until new ones were built.

Politicians and common sense just don't go together.

I don't think they're thick. I think they know exactly what they're doing. Interestingly, Belgium suffered rolling power cuts last winter.

I agree. And what is being done to us amounts to treason.

Strange Cameron , has not asked for an opt out the CO2 , etc , and stop closing coal power stations ?

What may be worrying to some is that after each climate meeting, like Kyoto certain heating devices are ruled obsolete.

I have warm air central heating, built in during the house build so all ducting is hidden. After the 2000 Kyoto Protocol BG always turned my boiler off as being 'not to standard' even though had just serviced it and it was 100% safe.

I now use the manufacturers (Johnson & Starley) local agents and they say it is also 100% safe, it is properly installed, and BG just don't like warm air systems since 2000.

One smart arse BG engineer said I should have it ripped out and radiators fitted. That would involve almost completely stripping out all dry lined walls to lay radiator pipes. He said the boiler would be sited in the loft !
