It was on the news today that the reserves were running low but a spokesman said that there was no danger of running out of gas.

Re: U K Gas runing out

The pump broke, so they increased the price by 50%, my fingers nearly broke off from the cold working in the shed, can I add on 50% to the job, not on your nelly, any excuse to cash in on this long winter.
We could do with some of it Norway, it's 36 euro for a bottle of gas here at the moment, that's the short fat bottle not the tall thin one.

That is reassuring, someone you have never met or known, telling you everything is O.K, hooray for the spokesperson (for the P.C crowd), or was it just a talking head?.

Ha, a mere bagatelle... we've got far more! Mind you we are shipping it to China like there is no tomorrow.

UK gas production has been declining since 2001 and we have been importing at an increasing rate since that time. Deregulation of the industry has meant there is very little spent on storage facilities, which are very expensive to build, nor has there been the investment to improve or reinforce the existing network to cope with demand and growth.

That said, a lot of industries can be turned off on peak demands as a lot have oil/electric as an alternative. There used to be scenarios played out where it was possible to forecast the consequences of sudden drop in supply (either due to mecanical breakdown/sabotage/terrorist activity) and much of the current network was designed to maintain integrety if such an even occur.

However, there are now attempts to extract or synthesis Natural Gas as a product of decomposition of organic matter which can be cleaned and delivered to the local network and/or given to a power station for green electricity.
