Gas Crisis Threatens Britain's Supplies

Blimey, recession, gas cuts, it's kicking off everywhere.

Think I will go and buy a calor gas heater just for emergencies, knowing our luck we will get our gas supplies cut on certain days and have power cuts due to overloaded power stations.

:rolleyes:

    If you find yourself in a fair fight, then you have failed to plan properly

    Rumours are that the Russians bought up tons of gas price futures last week, essentially betting that the price would go up. They then turn off the taps, watch the price soar, and collect their easy money. Ker-ching!

    I heard this on the radio yesterday I think, it was predicted. Russia is stepping up its climb back to the big stage IMO.
    Putting pressure on Ukraine is part of it.

    “Germany has 99 days of gas storage capacity, France has 122 days, while Britain has just 15 days,”
    This is the stupid bit, someone has alot to answer for.
    Freedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to make mistakes.

    It's not a free market when you have a government stepping in and imposing a political agenda.

    they cut off supply to ukraine for not paying their bill. this surely is right.
    if ukraine starts stealing gas meant for europe through the pipes going through its territory and europe loses its gas, that would be theft,isn't it

    From the BBC story to which you link,
    Russia has assured European Union countries they will face no disruption after it halted gas supplies to Ukraine in a row over unpaid bills and prices.

    That's good only until someone else says/does something to upset Putin.
