Electricity Shortages in the UK

According to Monday's Financial Times there are starting to be electricity shortages in the UK, due to both the hot weather and plant shutdowns in the summer.

No matter in the next few years we'll have all of that wonderful wind power on line to take the strain!

But then over this hot period we have had hardly any wind at all!

Surely the Government knows better than a humble engineer, scientist and statistician like me!
