> There's lots of amusingly Telegraph-esque outrage here. But the article makes it clear that the reduction is due to reduction in demand, due in part to improvements in efficiency, but also regrettable deindustrialization, and increased importing of electricity

Right – those things aren't great. What's so amusing or outrageous about pointing that out?

> Nobody is planning to ration electricity suppies.

Did the link say they were? Maybe I missed it.

The Telegraph-esque outrage in the comments here is explicitly people complaining about the idea of rationing their electricity, which as you point out is not suggested by any part of the article.

> Did the link say they were? That seems like a red herring.

By "here" I meant posts on this thread, not in the content of the article.

There are comments here saying yes, rationing is planned.
