They said the same thing the year before, I find these stories a little strange as we don't store gas like we used too, it is piped in from Europe as and when needed?
Yes we do have reserves but they are not the main source, I have worked on liquified storage plants in the past and many are now gone for the reason stated.

biomass wood boilers are the future, a good use of caravans, smash them chip them and burn them. At work

fast food.
The boiler guy didnt get the joke and launched into a long spiel about the detrimental affects burning chickens would have on the boiler

5 boilers fired up today for first time, so far only one has broken down, Danish engineering at its best

Another thing to thank the eu for..shutting all our coal fired powerstations..which are now switching to gas if they can...heaping even more demand on the system

Time to get fracking!

Drax power station is planning on using 5 millions tonnes of wood chips a year because of the EU regs/tax. The irony of this is that the wood chips come from the USA, any CO2 saved by the power station from electrical generation is lost by the CO2 produced by the ships that bring the stuff from the USA!!
