The shortcoming of electricity became a sneaking reality in California almost a decade ago, despite large investments in wind turbines since 1986. This was largely due to tax relief gained from the investment in wind turbines and the lack of investment in unsubsidized conventional (mainly coal) power plants. Many IT companies with large server arrays needed to invest in very expensive emergency power systems and were at the time advertising this.
The forecast in The Powerless Green Future looks in a way similar to the dangerous situation back then in California, where the country was very prosperous, in otherwise good health and fully capable of supporting it’s people and industry with adequate power. One can speculate if we, in Western countries, have past a tipping point where we for certain will experience shortcomings. The thing is that building power plants is a giant undertaking with years of planning, years of building and loads of work with infrastructure. It is therefore likely, that even if the politicians immediately come to their senses, we will have a decade-long problem in a foreseeable future.
In most EU countries, the politicians are trying to avoid this by having introduced the out-phasing of the “poor old” Edison style lamps. One can speculate if the MPs in reality knows that their effort with so called green power plants is worthless in the fight for adequate electrical power; why would they else so forcefully cut down on the use of electricity? They will probably claim that this is solely for the sake of reducing carbon dioxide; but that makes no sense as wind turbines, from the time of manufacturing to the end of their lifespan, are producing huge amounts of CO2 (see http://www.wikio.com/article/118585575) and more importantly will not close a single "constant-power" plant.
I understand all those who want to be gentle with the nature, I hope I am doing my part as well, but what the “bedwetters”, as Lord Monckton calls those who think CO2 is a scary pollutant, are doing with their un-scientific ways is a danger to the Western society and put our capability to care for the environment and the poorer people in danger. In danger, because we might loose the resources and will to do so, when more immediate problems arise.

Sadly there is little chance we can get Western politicians to come down to Earth;  their very existence depend on the media and the popular opinion of the people. But one can hope, when they can’t get the spin going any longer, they will find some escape-goat and try to make things good again.
