From Jonathan West
I’d like to say “no thanks” to the intercontinental electrical supergrids discussed in the “Green grid” feature (14 March, p 42). Adopting them would make us more vulnerable than ever to the whims of countries from or through which the cables pass, and they would be easy targets for any would-be attacker intent on causing disruption.
Instead, the future of energy should lie in the use of multiple small-scale, local power plants using waste, solar and mini nuclear fission reactors.
