Energy Crisis

Well, when it becomes clear that the political types are indeed talking through their hats,  if not through something less appealing, then perhaps dispassionate  engineering judgement will be respected. 

"Ye canna change the laws of physics" 

We should of course be building nuclear plant, experimenting with tidal lagoons and digging up the road and replacing ancient pipes and wires, as well as getting serious about the insulation or demolition of the solid wall housing stock.  A service economy where we all cut each others hair or sell each other insurance on-line will only take us so far.

It is quite quaint to live in a museum  but I suspect we will soon find out it is expensive and impractical, far more than is just beginning to become clear.
