Britain"s electricity system can generate enough energy to drive all the electric cars anyone expects. Strangely enough, UK overall demand is falling, because of things like energy efficiency in houses and industry all those LED light bulbs you"ve got. The Government has launched measures to generate a third of our electricity from offshore wind by 2030, about four times as much as now. Predictions say that nearly three-quarters of UK electricity will be low-carbon by that date. Offshore wind is expected to be cheaper than fossil fuel generation as soon as 2020. Other green sources are also growing fast because they make economic sense too. Solar, even unsubsidised, is now one of the cheapest sources of all. We won"t run short of daily energy. That, though, is far from the end of this story.
