Electric power lines at sunset.
WHAT a difference a week makes. Last Sunday (May 27) wind provided 31 per cent of power. This Sunday (June 3) 0.26%.
What is the future holding for energy supplies?
Smart meters, we are told, is the way forward. With every household connected to the provider, what is to stop electricity being charged at different rates at various times, depending on the strength of the wind?
Far fetched, older readers will remember telephone charges at three differing rates.
