I believe the gasometers were replaced by pressurizing the gas in pipelines.

> With the move to natural gas and construction of the national grid pipework, their use steadily diminished as the pipe network could both store gas under pressure, and eventually satisfy peak demand directly.

The west's neoliberal leaders really did screws the pooch in every way imaginable, huh? I hope their mansions have nuclear reactors to keep the lights on.

Between the US shipping all of our high-tech, defense critical manufacturing processes to [whatever is closest to slave labor they could find] to allowing RU and the middle-east to corner us for fuel resources.

At what point are we going to admit that maybe the free market is a pretty idea, but goes south when you pit it against other nation-states? Some regulations to force our mega-corps to be good citizens may be a better idea than we previously thought.

thought there was a fucking supervillain or something

Any given geopolitical power can be viewed as a supervillain.

Please in the UK, buy flea killers and repellents. Not for now but when everyone's homes and factories are cold, rats won't be as tasty to them and they will bite you.

The fleas will be killed when the rats are toasted with the crumpets.

A big winter threat in the UK 2022. The fleas. You'll have to expand a bit on that so it makes sense for the rest of us.

Rats have diseases which don't usually affect people because we don't have direct contact with them but fleas when they bite both can. It is an old theory that may or not be true but it seems to make sense.
