All those Telegraph and Times editorials on what we can learn from this about the risks associated with fossil fuel plants will be surely be along any minute now?
The Spanish government is reporting that the cause of the massive blackout wasn't a lack of thermal power plants - rather that they failed to provide power at the time, acting 'inappropriately'.

Funny, after fossil lobbyists were so quick to blame renewables..

This is a really important message. The Government would be making a huge mistake if they cut the promised funding for insulation, solar panels and clean heating. Making homes energy efficient is the only way to end fuel poverty!
