Private Eye have been going on about this for a while now. This winter especially we may have problems apparently as there is very little slack left in the system so any surge in demand will see measures (such as businesses being cut off during some periods) put into place. We're already very close to the lights going out at these plants are some years off starting let alone being finished. Not to mention the inevitable legal challenges to come.
