摘要

A new winter tradition is emerging in Britain. Whenever a cold snap occurs, commentators fret that the country's tiny stores of natural gas (which provides around two-fifths of electricity and heats over three-quarters of all homes) will run out. Such worries were particularly acute this winter, the coldest for 30 years. Sighs of relief, then, on February 15th, when the Gateway Storage Company announced that it had been awarded a licence to build the first big new gas-storage facility in many years. The firm plans to spend £6oom ($94om) carving out 20 vast storage chambers in the salt beneath the Irish Sea and building a processing terminal at Barrow-in-Furness. When it begins operations in 2014, it will boost Britain's gas-storage capacity by around 30%.
