RE: The Era Of Cheap Natural Gas Ends6 Aug 2021 12:21
As I said we know all that, or at least I did. The best we can hope for until Wressle flows and hope for gas/oil to come back into fashion with investors. At the moment, shortage or no shortage and the reality that everyone needs it , it is ostracised and put in the same category as coal which could not be further from the truth.
Gas is the only means st the moment to smooth out the peaks and troughs of any amount of green electricity production dependging on weather as it does and fluctuating electricity demand. Until a sophisticated storage system for electricity comes, and it will, demand for gas as a fuel will continue to increase. Especially as much of it is piped into the UK from Russia and Norway via Europipe the latter which has vast supplies in the Norwegian sector has little use for it themselves. The most likely catalyst to encourage home production is difficulties importing gas especially when you consider the relationship that this country has with Russia. When push comes to shove the price of gas will rocket (difficult to believe just how low the price was in recent past) As I say, but when? Meanwhile UJO will soldier on and we all wait and wait.......
