“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.
Dropping usage in winter by 20%? Tell me how the average consumer figures that amount?
They don’t/can’t. The only way to achieve that target is by closing businesses and production, which then puts people out of jobs, which then means ...how or who pays the bills?
Right now my heating is set at 65 during the day and 60 at night. Right now it is snowing outside, temperature is a balmy 27F with real feel at 15F. Thermal drapes are hanging closed too. At my feet is a small baseboard heater running. A single light burns over my table and my coffee has been brewed and moved to the thermal carafe to keep warm. This is not a new normal for me, it is my standard winter routine. Cut 20% usage? Where, how?
