The lights could go out in Britain within eight years as demand is predicted to outstrip supply
Grant Ringshaw
Across Britain, cities are plunged into darkness. In London, the Underground grinds to a halt, leaving panicked commuters stranded in oppressively hot carriages. In office blocks, lifts stop operating and the air-conditioning shuts down. Employees swelter in stifling conditions.
This is not the postapocalyptic vision of some film-maker, but a realistic scenario as Britain grapples with a looming energy crisis. The statistics are frightening. In only eight years, demand for energy could outstrip supply by 23% at peak times, according to a study by the consultant Logica CMG. The loss to the economy could be £108 billion each year.

INTRODUCTION
In March 2007, EU leaders accepted a proposal to reduce CO2 emissions by utilising more renewable energy. They have backed a mandatory overall cut in the EU’s CO2 emissions of 20 per cent by 2020, below 1990 levels. The 20 per cent could increase to 30 per cent if other key international players follow suit. It is suggested that they have also accepted a binding target of 20 per cent of all energy to be renewable by 2020. (Note, this is stated as energy and not electricity) Both of these objectives will generate immense challenges, but Tony Blair told the summit that the new targets would not be a burden on business, but an incentive to change direction to meet future global demands. Is there any real prospect of meeting either of these objectives?
