When the electricity
generators have gobbled up the remaining deposits of gas (or, more likely,
we are held to ransom by the countries which own it), I wonder how I and
millions of others will be able to fuel our cookers and central heating?

Fuel for cooking is very low volume. A household can be supplied by bottled gas, for cooking, where a medium sized one will last for weeks. (This is more an indication of the small volume required, than a suggestion of switching from mains to bottled).

Central heating could be halved if everyone wore a woolly jumper. It's unfortunate that so many modern houses don't have fireplaces, but boilers can be powered from many different fuels, and carrying solid fuels in from the shed will warm you up too!
