Great Britain has only two days of fossil gas stored after a decline in energy reserves, as more tankers carrying liquefied natural gas (LNG) are diverted from their course to Europe towards Asia because of the Iran war.
Great Britain had 6,999 gigawatt hours (GWh) of fossil gas stored on Saturday, according to figures from National Gas, which owns and operates the gas national transmission system. This compares with 9,105 GWh a year earlier.
Maximum capacity is 12 days of gas, and current storage levels equate to under two days of reserves, leading to concerns that Great Britain could run out of gas if the crisis in the Middle East escalates further.
It’s sensationalist. Britain gets less than 10% of its gas supply from the Middle East. 2 days reserve is the normal everyday amount. 12 days is imminent threat of invasion levels.
After an invasion. What does gb plan to do 12 days later, after running dry of gas?
Nukes probably
