It’s being suggested (not in the apparent majority woke left MSM of course) that this is down to the UK’s decision to leave the EU’s Internal Energy Market. Basically by doing so we’ve given people like Russia back control on what they charge us for the gas we depend on from them. We still have over 30 gas fired power stations and suggestions that the lights may go out as per my childhood in the 70’s looks possible. Best start stockpiling candles again.

Business Secretary claims Britain will avoid energy emergency

Kwasi Kwarteng said he did 'not expect supply emergencies this winter' as he prepared for talks with chief executives of the UK's largest energy suppliers to discuss the global gas situation today.

None of them seem to mention that leaving the EU IEM has handed them the ability to do this.

Give it a rest Tony. We all know you think everything is brexits fault. It’s a minor part in a far bigger problem.

Shmmeee is right, we should never be reliant on countries like Russia. For example on energy, there’s been a naivety in those that have argued against various alternative short term energy alternatives, in particular nuclear. We all want to move to clean, renewable energy but it can’t happen overnight and in the meantime it’s picking the least worst option(s) to be as self sufficient as possible

Tried to attach FT article but won’t let me. Worth googling. A couple of extracts

‘But storage filling has not happened at the pace traders would have liked in 2021. Russia has been sending less gas to Europe, for reasons fiercely debated in the industry. These range from Russia’s need to refill its own storage to suspicions that it is trying to pressure European governments, including Germany, to approve the start-up of the highly controversial Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline.
Europe has also been phasing out coal plants in recent years, limiting the opportunity to switch fuels when prices rise. Record carbon prices have also made fuel swaps less attractive because coal emits more carbon dioxide when burnt. The UK and parts of continental Europe are more reliant on wind turbines for electricity generation, but remarkably still weather in recent weeks has slashed wind’s contribution to the grid. That has largely been backfilled by natural gas, boosting demand for the fuel.’

I’ve never seen what’s wrong with nuclear power as a means to solve the energy problem to allow enough time for a longer term replacement to be found. Long term I think harvesting the sunlight hitting the Sahara is the answer for Europe and Africa at least but that requires the wealthier nations to really step up

It's been at least 30 years in the making.
So much political prevarication and delay.
Think I argued on here a couple of years ago energy should have been handled through a body independent of government, especially as delays have occurred through strange funding procurement not to mention state security regards who's handling these provisions.

Boris Johnson accused of having a 'casual' approach to Britain's national security by senior MPs

The Joint Committee on National Security Strategy, which is made up of senior MPs and peers, says that when the crisis in Afghanistan occurred over the summer, the British government was "unable to prepare for and respond to two national security crises simultaneously".

Which is strange because the PM has no problem having multiple women on the go.
