What have done towards your prep?

IT DOESN'T NEED TO BE A WAR.

Over the last few years demand for electricity has decreased, the need for industry has reduced due to the decline in manufacturing.

At the same time electricity generation has been allowed to fall, and with the closure of all coal power stations and some gas and oil stations, new nuclear stations delayed, wind and solar just a small amount and unpredictable.......Things are very close.

National grid has to buy £250million electricity from the continent each month.

On the 8th October we were close to a full shutdown of the national grid due to the North Sea Link inter-connector tripping out.

After a full shutdown you have do a “Black Start” bringing power stations on line slowly to avoid destroying switch gear, they think renewable energy “might” be sufficient to make the startup.

They do not know how long a full startup would take, two days, two weeks, more ?.

Meanwhile after two hours no mobile phones, landlines would last four or five days if you have one to contact family.

Trains, trams, airports instantly stop. Petrol stations won’t work, if your driving traffic lights are out.

Supermarkets will have no tills so will shut, they could not restock anyway.

At home no lights, no central heating, taps run dry, can’t flush the toilet, no television to give information, if you have a battery radio BBC will give some emergency information.

How long before the riots start and the looters are out ?.

So what do you need to do ?.
