The age of gas is finished.

I have some sympathy with this view, but are you going to nip into
your Tardis and go back to tell Thatcher not to build our energy
generating capacity on gas too? If you follow the web links that TNP
has been posting lately, it's amazing just how much of total grid
output has been coming from gas of late.

If the gas is finished, or if Putin turns the tap off again, not only
will the heating go off, but the lights will too.


Nuclear is the only way unfortunately. Just hope that fusion can be
made to work.


Haven't they been saying "Give us twenty years and we'll have fusion
working" since the 60s?

Although someone did publish an account recently of a fusion reactor
that broke even on energy production for a few seconds.
