00:00Did the U.K. really have only two days of gas left?
00:02Well, that shocking headline is grabbing attention everywhere.
00:06But here's the truth you need to hear.
00:08Reports claimed Britain had just 6,999 gigawatt hours of gas stored.
00:13Enough for around three and a half days if the country stopped all imports.
00:17That sounds terrifying.
00:18But it's also completely misleading.
00:20Because the U.K. doesn't rely on storage alone.
00:23Gas is constantly flowing in.
00:26From Norway.
00:26From North Sea production.
00:28From LNG imports.
00:30And storage is only a tiny slice of the overall supply mix.
00:33In fact, storage levels rose again this week.
00:36And National Gas says everything is exactly where it should be for this time of year.
00:41So why the panic?
00:42Because conflict in the Middle East is pushing global gas prices up.
00:46Trading routes are threatened.
00:48Qatar even shut down the world's biggest LNG plant after a drone strike.
00:52And that's shaking energy markets worldwide.
00:55But despite the chaos,
00:56U.K. officials insist there is no gas shortage.
01:00And households remain protected under the current energy price cap.
01:03The real concern is what happens if tensions keep rising.
01:07For now,
01:08one thing is clear.
01:09The U.K. is not running out of gas in two days.
01:12And the headlines don't tell the full story.
01:15The U.K. is not running out of gas in any way.
