Russian Gas
Do you remember that earlier last year, Emporer Putin and his administrators promised ever so nicely, that they would never again restrict gas supplies to the West. seeing as our governements were caught by surprise and we were in danger of rationing of gas in the cold weather of all times!! Anyway, the reason for the restricted supply for the preceding few years was the Russian/Ukranian dispute and the pipeline then used that ran across Ukraine. Tymoshenko is still in the news being tried over the dubious political & money scamming that was involved in the corridors of power & wealthy elite. Remember, Russia only recently promised never to restrict supplies again and to honour its international agreements.
The point is, that even after our governments commitment (vocal lips moving on TV) to more robust and diverse energy supplies, it is actually going the other way due to the present economic downturn. The government has shelved many alternative projects!
Now looking at this scenario, what should come up in the news a few days ago >>> Due to the present cold weather across the European landmass, Russia has reduced supplies to the west. Most Western European nations have reported reduced volume of gas flowing through their pipelines. Russia has announced that it has done this because the gas is needed for it's own people because the severe cold weather...
SO >> What do you think the politicians agreements & promises stand for if we had a major widespread disaster scenario here or over there or widespread??
Energy supplies > Not good
At the moment the UK government states it has enough gas reserves stored to last until the end of the month without any further measures needed.
