Plenty to worry about,on Wednesday the power nearly went out and they had to pay 10 times the going rate for gas just to keep going,it cost £21,000,000 and were paying this
The UK lacks gas storage capacity for overall demand. Europe has roughly 105 bcm (100 billion cubic metres) of gas storage capacity, equating to 22 per cent of annual consumption. By contrast, the UK has just 0.9 bcm of gas storage relative to around 80 bcm. The UK often has a surplus capacity to import LNG. Instead of importing substantial amounts of LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas) in the summer and storing it in winter storage, the UK relies on its production and Norwegian pipeline supplies, ‘topped up’ with LNG imports. Europe, by contrast, has comparatively less LNG import capacity. UK Gas Supply and or Storage, fluctuates constantly, and is managed as such, to ensure the country, that being the UK, is always supplied. However, with WWIII looming, this could all change in an instant....
If u actually listen to what he said there is no shortage. We have half the storage capacity left which is 25% then last year however it means full storage is only 2 weeks worth any way so calm down everyone

America blew up Nordstream.
Russia did not stop gas to Europe. Europe cut itself from Russian pipeline gas
Ukraine has canceled the Agreement of transferring Russian Natural Gas to the EU. The compressed gas from the US is expensive.
It's ok, Miliband says he's just been around winding up his clockwork windmills. No need to panic. Who needs gas anyway.
So we are now at the mercy of the weather improving next week😮? Wonderful! Relying on something we don't have control over. Gross incompetence at all levels
But but but UKRAINEEEEEEE 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Fear mongering... there are pipelines all across europe that the UK can buy from, and not to mention we can ship it in directly.
More pressure on the hospitals to cope with the elderly in this country.
Lets increase the price again excuses. Time we massed protested against this rubbish. How much profit did they make last year?
Why why why, are we reliant on foreign gas when we have massive reserves of our own in the north sea??
OK get your coat, we're not having any of that sort of talk.
Why do we have farms when we have supermarket shelves full of fruits and veg? 🤡
