Remember gas holders? I don't think there's much gas storage now.
Gas is still needed for the biggest part of electricity generation. As I sit here at 22.48, nearly 50% of 27GW supply is from gas. Wind is what it is, currently 4GW, and nuclear just trundles along at 5GW. The remaining 4 GW is mainly net interconnect and biomass with a bit of coal.
I shall be independent of gas (directly) in my new home. But is there is no gas, there'll be a shortage of electricity...I'm installing a log burner.
