An article today, who do you think they will be turning off to save the gas grid going down in a worse case scenario .

A top energy boss has issued a serious warning about the UK's gas reserves ahead of the cold winter months.
Centrica chief executive Chris O’Shea said that the country has almost no gas kept in storage to cope with plunging temperatures.
Unlike many European neighbours with decades of storage capacity, the UK relies heavily on imports and a few small sites.
Current figures show UK facilities are only around thirty percent full compared to over ninety percent in recent years.
Global events and shipping delays in vital waterways are fueling fears of potential supply shortfalls and intense competition for imports.
Energy regulator Ofgem already confirmed a price cap increase starting this October, meaning higher bills for millions turning on their heating.
Centrica is urging ministers to back a two billion pound investment project to expand the massive Rough sub-sea storage facility off the North Sea.
The energy chief warned that time is running out to secure the country's energy future and keep essential reserves open.
