Gas Is the Most Important Elements in Our Energy System

By 2000 our production had peaked and by 2004 we became a net importer. We got hooked on gas and then we depleted our own reserves. Today about half of our gas imports are LNG, liquefied natural gas shipped from Qatar and America. John Redwood is not alone in arguing that while we make the transition to net zero, we will have to keep using gas. And so it would be better to have our own supplies. If you import gas in LNG form, it's two or three times the amount of CO2 generated by delivering it and using it. Then if you just use your own down the pipe from the North Sea,. you've got all the energy involved
