In our scenario, set in the winter of 2010, Britain is struggling to generate enough electricity to cope with demand.

We've used most of our reserves in the North Sea and are already heavily dependent on imported gas to generate electricity, the majority of which we buy from Russia.

Was it any good?

It's amazing to me that nuclear power currently provides almost 25% of power in Great Britain but that the British goverment is apparently steadfastly committed to no new nuclear plant construction. Since all of these plants will be decommissioned by the early 2020s, where do they expect to make up that 25%?

Maybe Patricia Hewitt is right that by the time the nuke plants are decomissioned, wind and solar power will be able to pick up the slack, but that seems like a pretty reckless gamble given the current state of the technologies.
