Of interest is that none of the points in the "What could be done to reduce bills?" section increase the the availability of gas. The tax cuts, support packages, price freezes, etc. will result in more money chasing the same amount of energy.
It's been argued for years that it should happen as a short term fix for energy security, but didn't. And now we are here.
Sad, but unsurprising.
But we are paying market rates for it, which puts lots of profits in the hands of fossil fuel companies that came out of normal people's pockets.
Returning it to them is the economically efficient answer.
We have a Gas crisis - like the Oil crisis of the 1970s.
To get more gas we’d have to outbid other nations, and to do that we’d need to strengthen Sterling.
Which we could do by reducing other imports - particularly Chinese ones (leveraging their dirty peg to the dollar).
All we can do is reduce demand for gas or move the problem to some other nation via the floating exchange rate.
There are no good solutions for this winter.
All the thing suggested by this blog do that (insulation, more renewables, efficiency).
They also mention some government things which don't help, but that's not what they are recommending.
I guess the UK does have some domestic gas production, so could ban exports of that and institute price controls severe rationing.
