So to answer your questions BP....pretty much anyone with a mains socket that gets used.

Amazingly, we do not have ANY gas powered stuff in the house, aside from 'back up' cookers, e.g. camping stoves and the alike. But even this got me to thinking about stocking up a little more.

Facts:

Nearly half of the electricity generated in the UK currently comes from gas-fired power stations

The UK imported 45% of the natural gas it used in 2009 and, as North Sea reserves dwindle, this is predicted to rise to 69% by 2019.



So yes it affects all of us regardless of whether or not you have a mains gas supply to your property.
