So, still wanting to dream of the past? --- End quote --- I wonder how supercilious and condescending you’d be if you met them in person and they were 6’9” and built like a Russian wrestler? Internet bravado doesn’t work IRL. Being a man includes not talking down to people. --- End quote --- Rich that coming from you... |

bonjour à tous Similar situation in EU, USA, elsewhere. electric generation, transmission and distribution systems were designed and installed decades or even a century ago. The radical changes in generation and load over space and time, require total review and redesign of the sources, grid, controllers and load management. Nowadays the utilities are controlled by laws, regulatory compliance and politicians. Most of the experienced power and nuclear engineers are long retired. Finally the old line manufacturers, GE, Westinghouse, Brown Boveri, ABB are fully booked years out or have off-shored manufacture to China. Thus the issues are long, deep and very wide ranging. Suggest a natural gas/ propane permanent install backup generator for 25 kva or less eg your house or small firms Just the ramblings of an old retired EE, 1968 Bon courage Jon |

Well stuff all this BS climate change crisis nonsense, I'll carry on installing my Lister CS Startomatic diesel generator as a CHP unit running on waste engine oil, which will make me energy independent as long as I can scrounge 500 to a 1000 gallons of oil per annum. |

Government can do it though.. |
