Britain’s “Tight Days” Are a Warning: Net Zero Means Blackouts
The United Kingdom just admitted what common sense has been saying for years: when you blow up your power plants, don’t be surprised when the lights go out, according to a Breitbart report last week.
Britain’s national grid operator is warning of “tight days” for electricity this winter, meaning they may not have enough power to meet demand. Their backup plan? Import more energy from Europe, as if cloudy, still weather won’t hit the continent at the same time.
This is what happens when governments destroy reliable energy systems in pursuit of climate virtue signaling. The UK’s left-wing leaders are dynamiting coal plants, strangling North Sea gas production, and betting everything on wind and solar… energy sources that fail exactly when you need them most.
Even their own analysts admit it. The National Energy System Operator says it’s “confident” there will be enough electricity, unless there’s cold weather, low wind, or supply disruption. In other words, unless winter happens.
Meanwhile, gas supply margins are down 34% from last year, thanks to the country’s refusal to produce its own fuel. If a cold snap hits at the same time as an infrastructure failure, Britain could face an energy crisis worse than last winter’s. And instead of reversing course, the government is literally blowing up backup coal stations that could save them.
This is the future the climate lobby wants for everyone: unreliable grids, rationed power, and working families paying the price. The UK is now the global case study in what happens when ideology replaces energy reality.
Here in America, we don’t have to follow them off that cliff. President Trump’s energy team is rebuilding reliable baseload power. Because when it’s cold and dark outside, slogans won’t keep the lights on, energy will.
