 Even imported gas would eventually run out.
 
 I think i'd prefer a hydrogen boiler than a heat pump at this stage.

 Peak Oil (and by extension Peak Gas) is a bit of a myth.  There was supposed to be only 40 years of oil left when I was at school, about 40 years ago.  It was just another line peddled by the environmental lobby.  We may have made significant inroads into the easily recoverable stuff but there’s a lot more, in places that only become economical when the easy stuff is gone.
