This despite the fact that almost 42% of current generation is from Gas, and 2.5% from Coal.

What does he think is going to generate all this electricity in [just under] 7 years time ?
(when of course, we'll likely need even more to than we produce now, to charge up all these electric cars).
I believe that's the Conservatives' promise too. I'm sceptical of both of them. Happy to be proved wrong.
