Mad Power thoughts

EV Info

When David Cameron’s energy bill was being discussed in Parliament in 2013, the word on everybody’s lips was ‘trilemma’: how to ensure that energy was affordable, reliable and low-carbon. The cost of grid management has soared to nearly £2billion a year in the last two decades. Gas is the only answer.
