The government is, IMHO, to blame for the gas supply situation that Germany is facing now. Of course it’s the German citizenry that does the suffering.
It’s a return to the Dark Ages.
“A national gas shortage in winter can be avoided if, firstly, the savings target of at least 20 percent continues to be achieved,”
Dropping usage 20 percent IS a shortage. They’re talking in circles.
The Citizens don’t vote for the gov’t they want?
Save Germany, burn the environ’mental’ists.
Always move closer to the equator. It's time.
And sanction Russia up the kazoo...how do you think you kept the lights on for the last 50 years...windmills??
That’s what you get for sanctioning Russia.
“Germany is bleeding cash to keep the lights on. Just under half a trillion US dollars of government subsidies and counting, to make Germany’s broken energy system affordable for end users.
Germany’s half-a-trillion dollar energy bazooka may not be enough
Story by By Christoph Steitz
FRANKFURT (Reuters) – Germany is bleeding cash to keep the lights on. Almost half a trillion dollars, and counting, since the Ukraine war jolted it into an energy crisis nine months ago.
And it may not be enough.
“The national economy as a whole is facing a huge loss of wealth.”
The money set aside stands at up to 440 billion euros ($465 billion), according to the calculations, which provide the first combined tally of all of Germany’s drives aimed at avoiding running out of power and securing new sources of energy.
That equates to about 1.5 billion euros a day since Russia invaded Ukraine on Feb. 24. Or around 12% of national economic output. Or about 5,400 euros for each person in Germany.”
The idiotic, virtue-signaling Eurotrash are getting what they deserve and Germany is getting it in spades.
Record snow cover in the N. Hemisphere for this time of year. Global warming to blame for frigid temps.
*Costs, plus shipping & handling required.
This is a limited time only offer.
Operators are standing by.
Call now.
“...the current December is colder than it has been for years.”
Darn that pesky anthropogenic global warming, it strikes again and it’s going to be deadly.
President Trump warned the Germans and they laughed at him. Putin warned them and the Germans (EU) placed restrictive sanctions on Russia. How dumb can they be???
They made their bed, now they can sleep in it.
No problemo. Back to coal . . . the “necessary ‘evil’” . . .
Spurning coal, laughing at gas...what the h3ll are you people thinking?
And we can’t wait to do the same.
The stupid burns...maybe use that to cook with?
Cool. I know all about the story of House Atreides, the good Royalty that loved the citizens. Well this current Royalty of
Harkonnens is bent on total domination of us peasants by any means and that includes freezing into submission....
BERLINFREEPER never did get back to me about how many trees would be left in German forests after a couple of cold gasless winters; you know the Bayerischer Wald, the Eifel, the Schwarzwald, the Harz, etc.
If you have no gas or fuel oil you burn wood to stay warm, at least I do.
