So, nothing to do with Russia, Ukraine or energy traders?
Nothing to do with guzzling cheap energy and becoming dependent on Putin to support our lifestyles
Nothing to do with allowing UK onshore gas storage to be sold off for housing
Nothing to do with HMG refusing to fund the Rough gas Storage facility
To be fair, the switch to Russian Gas (over coal), the decisions not to develop onshore gas and (partly) the closure of Rough were all related to the government green agenda to wind down fossil fuels.
So the gist of the original post is largely valid. The gas crisis was self inflicted on the back of the green agenda.
Trump explicitly warned Europe 9and Germany i particular) against this, but everyone and his dog slagged him off for it. But once again he was proven right.
