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.
I'm quite surprised that a fuel like Gas is being used up much faster
than what it ought be whereas coal is plentyfuel..

It is something to do with the previous previous government being a bunch of
dogmatic *******s and for reasons I do not fully understand, they did
something that made burning gas look attractive to the buyers of the
nationalised CEGB.

Possibly connected to mad bitch Maggie's hatred of the coal industry,
whereas at the time, we had plenty of gas.

Nope, more to do with the Bitch Maggie having public opinion on her side
hating the coal miners UNION.

We have the same problem ow with the public sector,. but Cameron is
forced to sit on the fence there, and as everyone knows, it takes a man
with no balls to do that successfully.
