Indeed. 12 years ago I think we had the last UK gas crisis where we realised we had about three days gas storage. Since then we have built....no new gas storage. All our govt policy is based on the cheapest price on the day.Complacency.
80 years of relative peace. 3 generations of calm.
Complacency.
We should have had three new nuclear power stations up and running by now. The much moaned about price of the energy would be a fraction of what it's going to be. Hindsight is one thing, but "don't out your eggs in one basket" is surely accepted by everyone from childhood?
Still, Germany tried to build a lng terminal since 2018. In 2021 they reckoned it wouldn't be economically viable, and that the green lobby would stop it. Still, hindsight. I didn't realise that Russia provided Germany with 35 percent of its oil. So recap
50+ percent gas
50+ percent hard coal
35 percent oil.
It's Gas storage and several European gas pipelines are quarter owned by Gazprom.
I'll not work out the fertiliser, or other basic resources.
