In this episode, Max and Tony dive into the history and complexities of natural gas. They discuss how gas, once seen as a byproduct to be flared off, became a crucial energy source that transformed the energy landscape. From the early days of coal gas to the shift to cleaner North Sea gas in the 70s, they explore the engineering marvels that made gas widespread across the UK. They also address the current challenges, including the rise of global gas markets, methane emissions, and the environmental impact of gas consumption. Amid the debate over the future of gas, they reflect on its efficiency and how it keeps us warm today—while also considering its role in the climate crisis.
