In the next week or so, shipments of Liquified Natural Gas (LNG) will reach their destinations marking the end of supplies from the Middle East now halted by the US/Israeli attack(s) on Iran & the Iranian response.

After that (given the damage to LNG facilities in the region of the war), there will be between three to five years of constrained supply & higher prices.

Essentially exactly what's needed to drive an accelerated green transition (ironic, huh?)

@ChrisMayLA6 govt giving planning permission to put in heat pumps into older urban buildings would help too. Bristol council said "no" to us as it'd be too noisy. That's ignoring the little detail that in winter -unlike in summer with A/C- neighbours will close their windows as it is cold enough to need central heating.

Maybe when costs of installing come down and energy go up the advantage becomes so significant that people will put them in illegally

@stevel @ChrisMayLA6 you can just self install 'portable' air/air equipment thereby making them appliances so outside planning. Bit less efficient but an option that works well with solar/battery. Its how we heat our G2 listed building as it avoided changing the historic fabric
