- mytailorisrich 6mo agoThe UK depends on natural gas as most people get heating and hot water at home from gas boilers. As I type this comment your link also shows that 30% of electricity right now is being generated from gas turbines. So that's a hard dependency for electricity, too. Lastly, as you mention gas prices also set the price of electricity so a spike in gas prices impacts everyone [1] [1] https://www.carbonbrief.org/factcheck-why-expensive-gas-not-net-zero-is-keeping-uk-electricity-prices-so-high/ https://www.carbonbrief.org/factcheck-why-expensive-gas-not-...
