"If it is underground storage of transported gas, and I know that this has been tried it is again expensive and extremely wasteful."

And yet it's standard practice, Teribus. So I'm betting that you're also pulling your claim that it is expensive and wasteful right out of your arse, like pretty much everything else you say. And since it's standard practice, there's no reason your claim that it is expensive and wasteful will cause anyone in the industry (which you clearly know nothing about) to decide to stop doing it. And whether or not Europe needs to use this method is irrelevant. You maintain that the "fact" that gas can't be stored is proof that this method won't be used for Caspian Basin gas. You are making that up out of thin air. If it is needed for Caspian Basin gas, it will be used for that purpose.

Oh the deal for the Turkmenistan Gas for China was all signed off on and the pipeline opened on 14th December, 2009 and was well covered in the media - so much for making it up as I go along.

Show me some documentation that proves that China is going to get all of the gas. Or that no Turkmenistan gas will be going to or through India. So far you have not provided any.
