Ah, yes. Thanks for the reminder. Electricity is indispensable for the manufacture of today's guns and ammo. Without it both become non-renewable resources. Once the barrels have been worn out and the powder gone stale the most effective personal weaponry will probably be crossbows. Fine, I suppose, if you don't mind returning to an age where the reign of Alfred the Great was regarded as an era of luxury, comfort and sophistication.JimC wrote:You forgot the guns and vast amounts of ammo!Hermit wrote:So, in short, electricity production is essential for the UK.

Then multiply by the number of people living in the UK.
Also, enjoy your visit to the dentist while you're there, Krumpelstilzchen. I hear there may be a bit of a problem producing anaesthetics without the availability of the electricity you say can be done without.
