chronyx Posted October 19, 2014 Report Share Posted October 19, 2014 Apparently the South East will now implode in the morning. Not enough spare capacity? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
thecrashingisles Posted October 19, 2014 Report Share Posted October 19, 2014 I thought they'd just demolished it but that was obviously another one? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

chronyx Posted October 19, 2014 Report Share Posted October 19, 2014 Yep, they won't know how bad it is until everyone gets up in the morning to boil a kettle. I'm going to boil 5 just to annoy them Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Masked Tulip Posted October 19, 2014 Report Share Posted October 19, 2014 I'm going to boil 5 just to annoy them Wait till just after 7AM. Oh, I forgot, everyone in the South East is go-getter - boil that kettle at 5.30. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Corruption Posted October 19, 2014 Report Share Posted October 19, 2014 Wait till just after 7AM. Oh, I forgot, everyone in the South East is go-getter - boil that kettle at 5.30. Theres a hurricane coming so those windmills will come in useful for once, so long as they dont get shut down for being too windy. You have to love Britains energy policy, those lefties have worked wonders. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

John The Pessimist Posted October 20, 2014 Report Share Posted October 20, 2014 I thought they'd just demolished it but that was obviously another one? Didcot A was closed a while back. I wonder what would be needed to recommission it in a hurry? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

olde guto Posted October 20, 2014 Report Share Posted October 20, 2014 I think there's meant to be over 4GW of mothballed gas fired generation capacity out there. They're probably dirtier and more costly to run (that's why they were mothballed - unprofitable) but it's out there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Masked Tulip Posted October 20, 2014 Report Share Posted October 20, 2014 Have two boils of that kettle and crash the grid and the city. Only joking, apparently they suck energy out of the north to keep the masters in London in hot tea. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It it is even more unreliable than their house price coverage, which is some feat. Last year was to see 3 months of record snow according to them. The source for their weather stories is one bloke who set up a 'weather company' who was done for fraud. Edited October 20, 2014 by sf-02 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
