Is Rationing coming back

after a problem with a gas line causing it to be switched off there seems to be a buzz about regarding the lack of gas in stores and we run the possibility of having gas rationing

What I find amazing about this is that we are a gas producing nation , and the gas companies are making millions / billions in profits and yet it could be the little man , the people who are in fuel poverty will be the ones who will suffer  as even in the shortfall  it will be businesses that will be affected first but if it goes on I am sure households will be affected and then the price will go up and up 

thats all we need when there is snow falling from the sky
