The Chinese government is about to complete work on what will be the world’s longest natural gas pipeline which will run for 8,704 kilometres. The Russian government has the world’s longest oil pipeline which runs for 4,000 kilometres. Around one fifth of the natural gas used in the UK is bought to us by the Langeled subsea pipeline which runs for 1,166 kilometres from the North Sea.
‘Ain’t it astonishing then that a Cumbrian water company may have to ask permission to impose a hose-pipe ban to combat a dry spell in that area?
Wouldn’t you have thought that by now that someone would have come up with the idea of a water-grid, bringing supplies from the water-rich north to the rest of the country?
