The one hundred and seventy seventh weekly "No shit, Sherlock" award

This week's award goes to the BBC's Andrew Neil for this tweet:
'Coal + nuclear today providing 40% & 17% electricity. Both being phased out fast. Wind? A mere 0.3%. Are we heading for brown or black outs? -- Andrew Neil  (@afneil)'
I've been predicting this electricity generation shortage for quite a while now. Which is why I find it shocking that so many journalists are only just starting to wonder what the future holds for us.

Heading for brown or black outs - "No shit, Sherlock"

The substitute for coal is gas. We have to pay a bit more, but there is plenty of it and gas fired power stations are simple to build.
