1/8 The UK energy headlines are about to get loud again. Before that happens, here’s a simple explanation of how the systems actually work, that I created for my students a while ago and have updated to 2026. It explains why the risk is often misunderstood. #UK #Energy #EnergySecurity

2/8 Most people think (and many news articles frame) in terms of a “battery”: Store fuel → use fuel → run out. That is not how the UK works. We operate a continuous flow system — energy is constantly coming in, being used and replaced. #Oil #Gas

3/8 For gas, the bulk of supply comes from: The UK itself Norway (via pipeline) That gives a stable baseline. On top of that: LNG imports European interconnectors So supply is diversified, not a single-source. And critically at the moment - not overly Hormuz reliant. #EnergySecurity

The panic buying is mad in this country. Social media causes a lot of this bullshit.
