over the country from the gas fields below the North Sea. Natural gas is used chiefly as a direct
source of energy, although it is also used in the chemical insdustry. At the moment the sullpy is
plentiful, but it will be running short by the end of the century, and will run out during the 21 st

energy which is not only cheap, but also highly efficient.
