Re: Energy companies collapse
it is the freaking Russians Gazprom throttling Europe wanting its own way over a pipeline that is not meeting certain standards
US did the right thing when it come to fuel. I do not know what we can do. Can we quickly build our own storage and pipe it in from the North sea. Do we still have Gas rigs in the North Sea? offloading storage to France is one of the worse things that our countries leaders ever did |
Re: Energy companies collapse
Yes there still are gas rigs in the North Sea, not as many though.

Texas failed to invest in storage and suffered blackouts as a result, so US is not necessarily a good example to follow. As FT commentator Brooke Masters notes, the market has not delivered storage capacity and this is strongly needed by the UK due to its reliance on renewables. Market failure. I don't know if this was flagged by the regulator but this is a key reason why we're in a worse situation than a lot of our peers. Quote:

I wonder how long before the question of a tidal barrage on the Severn Estuary reappears? £millions on consultants, then back on the shelf for a few years.
Electricity would be generated as the lagoon filled and emptied, plus a nice route for a motorway between South Wales and The West Country that wouldn't be shut every time the wind got up. |

Doesn't help that German demand for gas has soared because they are closing the nuclear power stations. ---------- Post added at 19:05 ---------- Previous post was at 19:02 ---------- Quote:
