 I heard tell that when the Liberal Democrat Chris Huhne arrived as a minster in the Tory/Liberal coalition he waltzed into his ministry and was given the run down on 'renewable' energy by the chief scientific officer David Mackay, showing how basically impossible his plans were.
 He flounced out and was not seen again for a fortnight.

   Heh heh ! I can kind of believe that !  :-)

   ELECTRIC. THEN somebody FINALLY managed to explain

   Nothing WRONG with electric ... but EXISTING
   INFRASTRUCTURE has to be UP to the challenge.
   Frankly I do NOT want gas heating/appliances
   because there are TOO many horrific tales of

   The Grid IS up to it. UK/EU ... not so much.
   The sheer EXPENSE of a national upgrade !!!
