Yeah not sure why the thread ended up restricting the domestic electricity source to solar. The main conversation is what to do when gas stations cannot be re-fueled due to truck-driver-shortage-induced panic buying, and not because there is a general fuel shortage that would affect electricity distribution
- dumb_throw 5y agoMaybe, but this is a fun diversion that OP started. The UK is also suffering from a fuel shortage that is affecting electricity distribution, exacerbated by a heavy reliance on wind and an ongoing period of low winds. Oddly enough, it's all the little "100% renewable" power companies that are going bust, when you'd think they were independent of natural gas prices.
- davidhbolton 5y agoNo, the UK is not suffering from a shortage of fuel, just the delivery mechanism for one chain. BP.
- dumb_throw 5y agoI was making a comment about the supply of natural gas for electricity generation. Gas prices have spiked, which is causing issues. Several providers have already gone bust.
- ithkuil 5y agoIs the situation really so severe that if I had a Tesla I couldn't charge it at home?
- dumb_throw 5y agoIt's still playing out as we head into winter, and is already being called a crisis. I've based my life around having everything within cycling distance, so should be ok as long as the roads don't get icy!
