Edited: >>It seems that China is a little short on humility.<< That's not the only shortage. Maybe China should buy some Alaska North Slope natural gas, say 3-5 billion cubic feet a day for 30 years?

China Faces Nat Gas Shortages Message 26178969 In Wuhan, industrial gas supply has been curtailed in order to assure adequate supplies to the residential sector. Taxis using natural gas as fuel, a proud accomplishment of the city, have been directed to start using gasoline, with about $15 per day of government subsidies. In gas-producing Chongqing in Sichuan Province, the waiting time to re-fuel natural gas tanks for cars has been more than 3 hours with the queues for fuel stretching nearly 1 kilometer. In Hanzhou, the famous “entertainment” businesses were closed to save gas and for the rest of the city, the suggested indoor air temperature was no higher than 18?C (64?F).
