Crisis? What Crisis?

The idea of natural gas, as opposed to humping those butane gas bombonas around, might seem a very tempting proposition. Of course, there are always two sides to every story and the installation of gas tanks on the island is generating plenty of opposition - as this cartoon shows with "Do you know they want to put a bomb next to your house?". While the tourist on the beach, unaware, is saying "Crisis? What Crisis?"

Prensa Alternativa suggest this is the Canary Islands poster at the International Tourism Fair, FITUR, in Madrid.

Meanwhile, it doesn't help that the price of butane gas bombonas has risen yet again. On January 1 the price already leapt by a whopping 10.2% and this hike was just the latest in a series of price rises which has seen the cost of a domestic gas cylinder increase by exactly 31.2% over the past two months.
