Therefore, if we continue to allow green zealots to dictate our electricity generation, blackouts are inevitable. Britain and Germany already face this grim prospect. All actions have consequences. We cannot continue pouring billions of dollars of community savings down the climate-change sink-hole, without starving our essential infrastructure. We cannot keep adding taxes and political risk to traditional electricity generators without reducing new investment in real base-load generating capacity. And we cannot keep adding unstable solar and wind elements to our electricity network without adding greatly to electricity costs and the risks of network failure.
When the lights fail, and the supermarket shelves are cleaned out, we will return, at great cost and after much misery, to cheap reliable continuous electricity using coal, gas or nuclear fuels.
Gaia worshippers will find that "Earth Hour" will not be such fun when it becomes "Earth Week".

Daniel Greenfield: "No amount of turning off the lights is enough. Eventually you come around to having to turn off the people."

PS- Greenfield's line reminds me of this quote from Heinrich Heine:
"Dort wo man Bücher verbrennt, verbrennt man auch am Ende Menschen."
Translation: "Wherever they burn books, they will also burn people at the end."
