<\/em><\/strong>It is a still winter night in Green-topia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Wind turbines are idle; solar panels are in darkness; some are covered with snow. <\/p>\n\n\n\n


In the rich green suburbs, electric cars are getting re-charged. Lights, heaters and TV are on, and coffee is percolating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Where is the electricity coming from?<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Maybe big batteries? No \u2013 they got drained last night re-charging the electric cars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


All power tonight is coming from the old reliables – coal, gas, hydro or nuclear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


What if it\u2019s cloudy and windless tomorrow and the reliables have a hiccup?\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n


<\/em>Watch Europe as its hungry, powerless winter unfolds. <\/p>\n\n\n\n


Their peril is our warning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
