Power Politics: Political Encounters in Industry and Engineering By Francis Tombs

摘要

We have all come to rely on electricity being available on demand - and in an ideal world, one would like to think that the Government had a duty to ensure the country enjoyed a secure and continuous supply of electricity, a duty second only to the security of the state. In this entertaining new book Lord Tombs explains how, on the contrary, political decisions by successive governments since the war "have resulted in a situation where the reliability of electricity supply throughout the UK will be in serious jeopardy for many years to come".
