Now The Big Brother Fridge!
The Sunday Times and the Daily Mail are carrying a story, which says that National Grid, want all appliances to be able to be switched off, automatically, when there isn’t enough electricity. The story is here in the Daily Mail.
The problem is that for every method of electricity generation or method of saving, there are vociferous opponents.
Coal produces CO2 and therefore adds to global warming.
Wind farms blight the countryside.
Nuclear power kills everybody with radiation.
Fracking causes earthquakes.
Barraging the Severn and other rivers would upset the birds and the RSBP.
People won’t insulate their houses, as why should they spend money for no visible improvement?
People can’t get it into their heads, that AGAs and other high energy use appliances are antisocial.
Energy saving bulbs are ugly and give a bad level of light.
Perhaps not having power for a few hours every day, will make Daily Mail readers and the other ostriches see sense.
