Europe’s Gas Gamble: Will the UK Get Burned?

The EU has decided it’s time to roll the dice on gas storage. Instead of rigid targets forcing member states to stockpile months in advance, Brussels now wants a more “flexible” approach—letting countries delay filling reserves to avoid summer price spikes. Sounds sensible, right?

Well, maybe. Or maybe this is just another classic case of short-term market tinkering creating long-term instability. And for the UK, which still depends on European gas flows despite all the post-Brexit chest-thumping, this is yet another headache.
