Summary In the 2nd of a three-part series, Guy Martin makes a visit to the 'National Grid' HQ that controls the UK energy capacity, every single second, minute, hour, day and week throughout the year. Guy is put in charge of keeping the country's lights on by controlling the power created for the national grid. Next up, Guy visits the 'Defence School of Transport', a driving school for the armed forces to find out how they are reducing their bills with the aid of solar panels and new electric utility vehicles. The other great renewable source of electricity is wind. Guy visits a factory that makes wind turbines with each blade 81 meters long. To see the fruits of his labour, Guy has to undertake 'Underwater Helicopter Escape Training' before he can set foot in a helicopter to head out to the North Sea and visit the world's biggest off-shore wind farm. Guy's final trip is to Scotland to check-out the 'National Grid's most vital energy storage solutions, 'Pump storage hydro-electric power station'.
