This  a natural gas shortage, not gasoline

One of today's most important, and weirdly under-reported, news stories is the economic crisis that threatens Great Britain and, more broadly, Europe. Its most striking current manifestation is a food shortage in the U.K.

Acute food shortages were feared last night after high gas prices forced most of Britain's commercial production of carbon dioxide to shut down.

Emergency talks were being held between government officials and food producers, retailers and the energy industry....

The closure of two fertiliser plants in northern England and others in Europe has left the food and drink industry facing a shortage of carbon dioxide, which is a byproduct of fertiliser manufacturing. The gas is critical to the production and transport of a range of products, from meat to bread, beer and fizzy drinks.

The fertilizer plants shut down because of sky-high energy costs:

Gas prices in Britain hit record highs this week on fears of energy supply shortages in the winter.

CF Industries, an American manufacturer of agricultural fertilisers, said on Wednesday that it was halting operations at its sites in Billingham, Teesside, and Ince, Cheshire, because of high gas prices. The two sites produce about 40 per cent of Britain's fertiliser needs and account for 60 per cent of domestic production of commercial CO2. Sites in Europe are also halting operations.

So you are saying this is a contrived crisis and not a perfect storm of green energy fail?
