2/n Government data shows there has been a big shift in UK domestic lightbulb stock https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/energy-consumption-in-the-uk … 2/npic.twitter.com/WxpeS4aPYk
What if the EU had never banned incandescent lightbulbs? Bottom line: I reckon UK peak demand could easily be 6GW higher (2 Hinkleys) 1/n

3/n If, on a winter's night in 2000, the average UK home switched on 5 lightbulbs, then peak domestic lighting demand was 9GW

I have all LEDs now...lovely whites and even some pastels. Gorgeous technology.

I used to have to change a bulb every couple of months. I've had LEDs for 5 years and never had a failure.

and if all remaining halogen go LED then we won't need any Hinkleys at all?

Hinkley is not just a bad deal but a very poor design - so hopefully no more Hinkleys
