Between 1973 and 1974, the

United Kingdom experienced a particular energy crisis

, caused by the international rise in oil and the lack of coal. The then Prime Minister, Edward Heath, came up with a curious way to save electricity: the three-day week. Except for hospitals and newspapers, all work activities had to be carried out in three working days, pubs had to close and night football matches were held in the daylight in the sunlight.

We do not know if anyone is considering going back to the old solution of

Premier

Heath, but we are already mired in an energy crisis of greater depth than that, with

the prices of electricity going through the roof

,

a bottleneck in world demand,

an energy transition that will take decades, a pandemic that has come to become endemic and a winter that is already looming in the northern hemisphere.

The concern of governments is now focused on the fuel that we use massively to heat ourselves: natural gas.

Various circumstances determine that the possession of deposits, the distribution by gas pipelines and the transport by sea of ​​this raw material will make the difference between the countries that will be able to enjoy a warm winter and those that will not.

In addition, those who manage to stock up, will do so at prices never seen before.

It is the passage from energy poverty to the gas war.
