Lastlid - Reference rip off Gas Prices I think you will find that it is the usual lack of planning and investment that has caused the situation detailed in this (July 2012) article

LONDON, July 24 (Reuters) - Britain has less gas storage capacity, relative to its annual
demand of around 80 billion cubic metres, than other major European gas consumers.

I suspect this means we always have to pay top dollar for gas because we have nowhere to buy and store it when prices are cheap

Storage. Have a look in Cheshire. They banged out a few holes in the ground there for that very reason, only a few years ago. Maybe not enough though....but as far as I know the campaign was being extended.

Quite a canny project actually. Pumping gas into holes washed out in the salt under the ground in Cheshire. I know people that worked on it.

Seems they have been doing the same in Yorkshire. I hope the HSE are operating there as I wouldnt like to think all that gas blew the arsenal out of Grahams back yard....

Drilling holes in the ground, safely. Thats what I do for a living.

Then we need to drill more, particularly under Yorkshire, where we can slacken off on the old HSE.

Take a look at this. I know guys who worked here. Looks like they are cracking on with it.

The project includes the creation of 28 caverns at a depth of 600m in three phases between 2013 and 2018. The first ten caverns of the first phase are expected to be commissioned in 2013. The facility is expected to be fully operational by 2018.

I nearly took a trip there myself as I needed some videos taken of the operation.
