The 240,000-barrels-per-day Port Jerome-Gravenchon oil refinery in France, operated by ExxonMobil, is producing less fuel because of strike action at the plant, Exxon told Reuters on Wednesday.
French trade unions called for the strike due to disagreements over wage negotiations with ExxonMobil. The industrial action at the Port Jerome-Gravenchon refinery and the Notre Dame de Gravenchon (NDG) petrochemical site was called on Tuesday evening.
According to Exxon, both refinery and petrochemical operations are hit by reduced production, and truck loading of fuels is also affected.
“Refinery and petrochemical operations are then impacted with reduced throughput, supply and truck loading are also impacted… This situation may impact our customers, contractors, suppliers, and employees in a challenging energy market environment,” a spokesperson for ExxonMobil said in an emailed statement to Reuters.
The disruption at the French refinery comes amid a worsening energy crisis in Europe, which is trying to procure non-Russian sources of crude ahead of an EU embargo on imports from Russia by sea as of early December.

Snow will begin to cover Europe in 6-weeks
Subtext: Putin does not want Europe to have any energy source except Russia, so he gins up a little excitement amongst the Socialist unions in France to make sure that his will is obeyed.
I suggest buying sweater futures is a good investment.

Thanks, needed to update my weather forecast for that part of the world.
Get a load of this one, the Russians had a live-stream of a gas stove top burning 24/7, just to let the Europeans know what they once had:

Excellent idea. That Ukrainian mud is going to get real cold when Putin pulls the plug.
The invasion fleet at Anzio in WW2 ran low on ammunition because Brit dockworkers went on strike knowing the consequences. They should have been hanged.
Interesting write up on corrupt Australian dock owrkers in WW2:
I'm liking the StoveCam, too. That's an awesome troll, there.
Looks like the NetNazis at Twitch are trying to censor these things - but they're apparently playing whack-a-mole.
JonPreston on 21st September “Snow will begin to cover Europe in 6 weeks”
Here we are 10 weeks on on 15th November and no snow yet.
That’s another failed prediction like your predictions of Putin winning.
