ZitatBritain is facing an unprecedented energy supply crisis thanks to its growing dependency on “intermittent” renewable energy, a top official at the country’s electricity and gas regulator has warned.
Andrew Wright, a senior partner at Ofgem, told a recent conference that some households would have to pay more just to keep the lights on while others “sit in the dark” due to lack of electricity.
Thanks to the closure of coal mines and the decline of fossil fuel generators, Britain has lost fuel capacity, meaning there is “much less flexibility” in supply.
He warned that in future richer customers may be able to pay for the better, more reliable service while poorer people have their energy supply rationed.
“At the moment everyone has the same network – with some difference between rural and urban – but this is changing and these changes will produce some choices for society,” he said.

The Telegraph reports that he laid the blame for this scenario on renewable energy.
This is the real reason for the push for renewable energy sources, to cripple Western economies, and to drive people into greater dependency on government.
Note how the article states, "He warned that in future richer customers may be able to pay for the better, more reliable service while poorer people have their energy supply rationed.". This is the inevitable result of Socialism. For all their bs about egalitarianism, Leftist collectivism always leads to a stratified society with a few privileged at the top living large while the masses live in poverty and want.
