I don’t have a broom or carpet, so I won’t be brushing anything. The fact is we have been a net importer for decades, at least 40 odd years.I'm not saying the ability to import/export/share is bad!
I'm saying having a privatised open market electricity supply for the nation, where its got a shortfall already, & demand growing far greater & faster than generation capacity....
... is moronic.
As an EV owner so dependent upon electricity for more than most (and that's very high anyway)..... I'd have thought the poor state & rubbish management of the nation's energy would be something you'd feel needed a drastic shot in the arm - not brushing it under the carpet.
We import a % of electricity from other sources, and we also export a % - in both cases it’s not huge numbers (in % terms it’s single digits) and in the end it doesn’t really matter what I or anyone else think about it, we have to have some trust with the people dealing with it (not politician level, but at the professional level, ie the engineers making the real decisions)
You can either be red faced and angry at everything or you can accept that hopefully somewhere there are some people making decisions that know what they are doing. And if not, well then so be it.
My blood pressure isn’t worth the stress of getting permanently wound up about stuff that I’ve no control over.
