Is the UK methane gas storage facility running again? So that the UK is protected to some extent from gas supply issues and price volatility. ISTR the Johnson Tory government allowed it to be closed by it's owners.

What is the current government doing to protect us against petrol and diesel supply issues? It seems like panic buying is already happening with petrol stations running dry around the country.

@jbond What the government *should* be doing "to protect us against petrol and diesel supply issues" is to accelerate progress towards net zero so that nobody will care about whether there is a supply of fossil fuel.

@TimWardCam Yes, that as well. First. But in the mean time, we're a long way from the grand electrification of everything. The economy as a whole is still very dependent on fossil fuel. And not sufficiently resilient to cope with short term supply/price shocks.

So we have to do both.
