Rev 6:5,6 NCV When the Lamb opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, "Come!" I looked, and there before me was a black horse, and its rider held a pair of scales in his hand. Then I heard something that sounded like a voice coming from the middle of the four living creatures. The voice said, "A quart of wheat for a day's pay, and three quarts of barley for a day's pay, and do not damage the olive oil and wine!"
The UK could run out of energy generating capacity by 2015 according to a report from energy regulator Ofgem. The report blames the potential shortage on coal-fired power stations connected to European Union environmental regulations.
Britain’s Energy Secretary said that the government would be responding to the report before the end of 2012.
“Security of electricity supply is of critical importance to the health and economy and smooth functioning of our daily lives,” Ed Davey told the BBC.
In addition to the nation’s spare capacity falling ten percent in three years, the need for imported gas would cause electric bills to skyrocket.
The director of energy at Consumer Focus told the BBC that the news increases the likelihood of outages.
“Narrower margins mean the risk of outages are higher and scarcity of energy could also feed into possible price rises in the future,” Audrey Gallacher said.
