"Well at least we now know the worst case scenario…. Now pray for a mild ish winter!!!! "Worst? You don't believe that, surely? And, if the the United States blow up the Norwegian pipeline like NORD STREAM last week? 40% of our supply falls offline? Only 5 weeks ago, Trusty Liz was telling us they'll be no restrictions and energy supply is a plenty.. Prayers might not be enough.. | |||

Worst?
You don't believe that, surely?

Only 5 weeks ago, Trusty Liz was telling us they'll be no restrictions and energy supply is a plenty..
Prayers might not be enough.."Okay… 2 things A) why would the Americans blow up the Norwegian pipeline? B) do you think the Americans tampered with nordstream, rather then the Russians? | |||

"The Russians are the only ones stupid enough to blow up nordstream
It must have seemed like a good idea at the time

Prayers might not be enough.."Add the 2 percent cut in oil production announced by Opec in cahoots with Russia and its looking a bleak winter. So much back for the payback for the West looking the other way over Saudi actions in Yemen. | |||

"It was sarcasm.. We all know who really did it, but people here believe it was our US friends to make us buy their gas.. We also know that that precious pipe is very vulnerable now, don't we? Speaking of buying gas, 22x bottles to take to be filled tomorrow." Hope you're licenced to transport that many | |||

So much back for the payback for the West looking the other way over Saudi actions in Yemen."The 2% cut might not be anything quite as bad as it sounds… bear with me… OPECs target at the moment is to produce about 100 million barrels a day, however in this period the average amount of oil they have actually produced is about 98.5 million barrels… some days as low as 97 million So if the target comes down to 98 million what a lot of that will be is taking surplus off market Yes in theory it’s 2 million Barrels, in practice it may around 500-750k barrels | |||

"I guess we're going to have to reset the clocks every day that there's a power cut and also what happens to people with animals with heating needs, like my neighbour with her little tortoises that have a heat lamp? I could easily volunteer to have no electricity for 6 hours a day, apart from keeping to salt lamps on and and the power light on some appliances I don't use much anyway." RE: Tortoises The government aren't forthcoming with advice. If 3 hours, they'll be OK with towel round them or tank. If longer, and there is potential for it, then alternative source of power would be needed. A generator, UPS or battery / inverter. | |||

"So, the government are not going to be running an energy efficiency information campaign..." There's no point doing so at the moment. Even if they do persuade people to cut down a bit, there's nowhere to store the gas that we might save. When Rough Gas Storage Facility re-opens, then we can start telling people to cut back. | |||

"So, the government are not going to be running an energy efficiency information campaign (although most of the advice is pretty obvious anyway). Apparently everything will be fine. Time to service the generator this weekend I think." They should have been running a save energy for Winter campaign since the end of Spring. I spoke to my local Conservative Councillor who I asked to get me in touch with government. He laughed and said, if true, he'd come to mine to keep warm and have a brew! I have also asked about plans fir keeping people warm in community centres. Great idea until you here that no generation is planned as a backup to keep heating running. I fear, another expensive Public Enquiry heading our way. It's an abhorrent and life threatening failure. As for the comment on 3 hours to 3 days, you're absolutely right as what may happen if High Tension lines or substations are damaged by the surges. It's very precarious. AND, being a very suspicious minded person, these EU Interconnects Luz is relying on. How do government not know that 'charges' have not already been laid on or near said infrastructure? Boom - No Norwegian gas Boom - No North Sea gas Boom - No Internet Boom - No domestic offshore wind Boom - No EU electricity Wouldn't take much to put this country on its knees. Our Royal Navy has been tracking and chasing Russian Navy away from our underwater infrastructure for many years. Last resort before Nukes? Never say Never.. we are at war. | |||

"Problem solved “To keep the lights on this winter it is likely that the energy system will need to fire up its ageing coal power stations despite our recent commitments to climate action. Whilst coal has made a much lower contribution to UK electricity supply over recent winters due to the success of deploying offshore wind and other renewable technologies, I expect that this winter we will see coal play a crucial part in providing energy security.”" Which makes me wonder, if it's a choice of the lights and heating going out or fire up the coal power stations (with the obvious negative environment impact) what will people prefer. Stay warm or stick to the principal | |||

"Energy security.. Fekin ha.. when trotted out by this latest bunch of shysters who have done nothing in the last twelve years till Putin went into Ukraine but degrade gas storage.. That complete moron Truss when asked on local radio here about fracking and the lack of any changes in the science which her party used to rightly bin the idea recently and the massive opposition from her own local MPs and the affected community could only answer 'i don't accept the premise of the question'.. Just fuck off, cretinous imbecile.. " | |||

Nah ... Keep warm | |||

"This is the wake up call to true Energy Security but making it, here at home from renewables, nuclear and ultimately (hopefully) fusion." With any luck we'll just struggle through this winter, and everyone will realise how much we need new energy sources. Fusion has been just around the corner for decades now, but recent advances mean it actually might happen at some point in my lifetime (i.e. in the next 2 decades). | |||
