Considering Tomorrow Today<\/strong><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n Why not build into the Community plan , – Energy Security \n One of the potentially biggest problems facing us, here in the UK in the next couple of decades is the failure of our power generation and distribution network. The world around us has changed and will continue to change. Our National Grid, which was so efficient when created was designed to carry electricity from large generators to much smaller consumers and cabling, switches, controls etc reflect this structure with safety switches that blow if certain components are over stretched. The future is more likely to see small distributed generators feeding into the central system so the grid is upside down, back to front certainly, in some way, the wrong way round. Now the temptation is to give up and leave such matters to the Government, it is the long term strategic player, or is it? Governments have very short term 4\/5 years of secure power to act, whereas the community may be here for generations. Setting Energy Security as a long term aim of the Community Plan informs the direction of travel, opens the way for perhaps a shared bulk purchase of solar panels, it\u2019s a starting point and one which might be achieved.<\/p>\n .<\/p>\n To join our Facebook group, please \u2018friend up\u2019 with the Gwen Fo ac-count @ https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/gwen.fo.1 and then jon the Wenvoe Forum @ https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/groups\/635369267864402<\/p>\n Some further information and updates, blog site https:\/\/wenvoeforum.wordpress.com\/.
