In a world of logic, the LNG in-port would be owned by UK gov plc and would be the supplier of last resort for domestic/essential methane only. Presumably the liquified product can be stored, at high energy density, 'indefinitely' as required, with evaporation pressure vented into the gas grid. Makes a lot more sense than pressurising room temp gas elsewhere.
[OK, on second thoughts, I have lost confidence in any gov management ability..]
They can't get more storage facilities for Natural gas through the planning system - so are totally exposed to a cold snap in the winter.
We now have a yahoo group for UK TOD'ers - 10 members at the moment- if anyone else wants to be on the list to check out comments please e-mail me from my profile - unless you choose it no mail will be delivered to your personal e-mail box, but it should be handy for specific discussion of UK issues where there is not an appropriate thread on TOD, and any suggested measures.
Cheers.

Any update on following from Guardian June 11 ...?
best, PhilH
That's interesting, but they still need to source gas in summer for storage for use in winter.
I don't know how that application is progressing, but here is an overview of the lack of storage in the UK:
