“arguing that high consumption should not be allowed to continue in January and February.”


Ah, there’s the old authoritative Germany I remember.

expressing confidence that the country’s plans to cut energy usage will be enough to see it through the winter.

I'm on a couple of frugal-living discussion groups. Starting around March, there were posts by people in Europe, mostly Germany, asking for ways to prepare food without a stove, because they could no longer afford the cost of energy to run it with.

I dare those "confident" officials to stand in the kitchen of a family that can't afford to boil water, and tell me again how cutting energy usage is enough.

Spectre of Blackouts Loom as Cold Weather Threatens German Energy Savings Plan

Germans could try stealing natural gas from Russia via Ukraine or Nordstream and, ... , oh wait, they already did...

...revealing that the country had actually managed to chew through one percent of its entire gas reserve on Monday alone.

At that rate the reserve zeroes out in March, at which time the average low temperature is still in the 30's Fahrenheit in most of Germany. If it does turn out to be the colder than average winter they're now predicting they aren't even going to make it until then.

The Greens are scrambling to find a scapegoat other then their own ridiculous policies. The problem with RussiaRussiaRussia is that it validates what that U.S. president nobody likes was saying. What to do?
