Yes I have no gas whatsoever here. I do trust that the idiots keep a few

idiot say the other day.

You need to make sure you can manage in your house without
electricity.
Most people's heating/cooking dependson it.

It's not easy/cheap to "mothball" a power station.

The owners are eager to shut them down, they will save money. If
there are any power cuts, they can blame the government.

"Greenies" have been predicting this situation for decades.
The main reason we are in it is down to inaction by the gov. and the
privatisation of our energy services.

Probably next Winter will be crunch time. You need to prepare for it.

Make sure you have alternative heating arrangements and before Winter,
lay some essentials in, (food fuel).

This Summer you need to think about getting any fireplaces you might
have working. Ideally get a stove.
