Re: U K Gas runing out

Apparently we lack gas storage capacity and to improve this would require a big investment which would of course be passed on to consumers in their bills and not born by the suppliers.

Yes. But this also happens when you privatise an industry and you change it's working culture from "providing a service" to "make as much money as you can".

I agree Graham and all those profits made by the power companies should have been money ploughed back to provide a secure energy future rather than paid to shareholders .

I think we all have the common sense to know that but sadly common sense seems to be something many politicians who make the decisions for us do not possess.

Absolutely Graham - the essential services should never have been privatised.

Isn't that a head-spinner Meg - why is it that everyone else can see it but not the politicians? Do they know something we don't? Why would they have all that money going into shareholders pockets instead of The Revenue?
