First our Hoovers, now it's our Kettles and Hairdryers !
Well, first it was our Light Bulbs, then our Hoovers,Now all hail to the Alter of Climate Change once again. !!.
It appears that the EU have undertaken studies and are battling to bring in changes to reduce the high energy of usage of our Smartphones, Kettles Toasters and Hairdryers
Hello !!, my kettle toaster and hairdryer are only on at tiny fractions at a time. Surely if they get their way, length of time on a slower outage on kettles, toasters hairdryers is defeating the object.
God help us if and when electric cars come into being on a mass scale. Can you just imagine all those cars charging up overnight.??!!.
Wouldn’t surprise me if unnecessary flights come next ! or maybe our Toilet flushes!! Mind you, they usually have to be flushed more than once over there - compared to our good old one flush here.
I wonder what’s next on the agenda of those un-elected, dictating bureaucrats who once again, make waves to ensure they keep their jobs !!
Don’t forget to get a good supply of candles in because I wouldn’t be surprised if rolling blackouts are next on their bucket list !..
What do you think? Do you agree that the EU should be interfering with our energy output on kettles and hairdryers? or should they keep their flippin noses out of our way of lives?

HiWell it is their electricity after all,
We did sell out to them.
EDF is a wholly owned subsidiary of the French Government.
Not content with selling them a large chunk of our ordinary power stations, in 2009 Gordon Brown sold them our Nuclear Power Stations.
In 2010 the French sold all their UK downstream electricity supply network to a Hong Kong Company, for a nice profit.
The canny Chinese business man who bought it all, promptly renamed it UK Power Networks, because it sounded more British.
The money we got for all this was immediately blown on propping up the banks.
nPower, another big UK Supplier is 100% owned by a German Company.
Scottish Power is 100% owned by a Spanish Company.
As I said, it is their electricity, not ours.

Another thing that p****s me off about the EU: absolutely pointless diktats that are of no benefit to us or, for that matter, any other nation. As SG pointed out, lower power output results in longer power output and exactly the same amount of power is used for the same outcome. Not only is it pointless, it also indicates a profound lack of knowledge and understanding.Apart from that, I assume that a couple of forests-worth of paper has been consumed by the pen-pushers in processing it all. I suppose that the only mitigating factor is that our own circus at Westminster has also performed such time and money-wasting exercises of its own volition in the past.
