Do want power delivered to their homes both gas and electricity at a reasonable (cheap) price.


It's easy to say what we should have done but consecutive governments have listened to the public and ended up where we are. If we had built more nuclear power stations that would have left more gas for home consumption but upset the anti-nuclear brigade.


One good thing in this crisis will be to focus more attention on saving fuel and hopefully research to fusion and hydrogen fuels. Nothing like a crisis to increase inventiveness.

I think I screwed up the rep I intended to give you. Sorry. Anyway - spot on.
