I actually don’t have the time or the inclination to do the work for you - feel free to search and post the link.

Sadly for you, “that certainly sounds crazy now” isn’t an effective counter-argument. What you need is some statistics showing projected growth in the UK’s energy production and distribution infrastructure. And while you’re at it, don’t forget to factor in other future uses of that infrastructure for which we are presently ill-prepared, principally charging all-electric vehicles.

Clearly you have plenty of time on your hands so I’m going to assume, if you don’t post the figures that back up your assertion, that you found the figures disagree with you.

Now, off you pop.
You simply cannot make a case based on what is 'now', Chris. If more capacity is needed, more will be created. To use the fact of what is the situation now to justify why something won't happen in the future is, well, naive.

Nobody posts reams of facts and figures to prove their viewpoint - it's pretty obvious to anyone with their eyes open where this is all going.

I certainly do not have the time to help you understand all the facts behind the blindingly obvious - my interests extend well beyond the Cable Forum!
