just seen the news this morning (14th March) about the anouncement of a by the National Grid that we might not have enough gas. Citing Rough as a major issue. Looks like your ananlysis was ahead of the curve again.

It is evident that Max beached delivery is very much in the balance. Shirley too close for comfort ?

Of course the price increase which is being introduced PDQ will have an effect on demand…. is the Gubment sanctioning the increase to do just that ? … and then blame the scheming heartless “furriners”.

To be followed by a Windfall Tax ?

From my vantage across the Atlantic, it seems that your media does a much better job of covering energy (in)security issues. I scan our papers daily in vain for any serious discussion of depletion, scarcity, or [gasp] reduction of wants [/gasp].

But how well does the coverage convert to public discourse in the UK? How well informed is the average person? Do they hold any implausible or indefensible views in light of the science of finite resources?

For what it’s worth, the majority of my fellow Yanks that I broach the subject with respond with looks of utter ignorance. They truly have absolutely no idea of how energy is delivered, much less any concept that our energy foundation is slowly but inevitably growing weaker.

Thanks again

Idle thought: I wonder if this will have a bearing (if any) on Gazprom’s bid for Centrica…probably not important right now.
