Britain could face electricity blackouts
- Members of the British Parliament warn that Britain could face widespread electrical blackouts if new generating capacity is not added soon. Clean and renewable generating methods will be preferred in the Government's energy review, including a return to nuclear power generation. But the committee warned that no new nuclear power plants are expected to come online until at least 2017, while nearly a quarter of Britain's current generating capacity is scheduled to go offline by 2016, creating a shortfall described by the committee as a "generation gap" which could not be bridged by nuclear energy. The committee's statement drew some support from environmentalists as well as from some energy sector industries.
