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.

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." _________________________________________________________________ Don t just search. Find.
