"But when the inhabitants of the remote Scottish island of Eigg put their faith in the wind and rain to provide all their electricity they did not reckon for one thing – mild weather.Now the 95 residents are being asked not to use kettles, toasters or other kitchen appliances after uncharacteristically mild weather caused a critical shortage of power."

"Truly you’d need a heart of stone not to laugh. But it gets even better. Go on: guess how they’ve decided to “solve” the problem. Think of the stupidest way you could spend you money on power generation in a place where there really isn’t that much sun.
Yep:
The trust is now planning to spend part of its £300,000 share of the prize money on more solar panels to prevent a repeat of the shortages in future years."
