Boy, those CEO's in the energy business sound like alarmist kooks, don't 
they?

Eventually we'll be hearing warnings like this in North America when we 
can't import enough cryogenic natural gas to make up the shortfall in 
domestic production.

Manage your risk, not your terror.

Gas shortage threatens blackouts this winter, warns Tullow
By Michael Harrison, Business Editor
14 September 2004


One of the operators of Britain's biggest gas terminal warned yesterday that 
there was a good chance of the country being hit by blackouts this winter 
because of a shortage of gas.

Tullow Oil, which operates one of the three terminals at Bacton on the East 
Anglian coast, said that in the event of a prolonged cold snap, the UK would 
probably not be able to land enough gas to keep gas-fired power stations in 
operation.

Bacton handles about a quarter of the UK's gas, processing supplies brought 
onshore from the southern North Sea and an interconnector from Zeebrugge, 
Belgium.

Aidan Heavey, the chief executive of Tullow, said: "A lot of people think 
there will be blackouts this winter and next. I think there is a good chance 
of that happening."
