Gas Dependency

How much of the UK's electricity comes from gas. Gas is the last major fossil fuel in the mix and the swing supplier that fills in when the wind drops. When its share rises the grid burns more fossil fuel and is more exposed to gas prices; when it falls, it is cleaner and more self-reliant.
