Regulator urges Germans to prepare for possible gas shortage

BERLIN (AP) — Fearing Russia might cut off natural gas supplies, the head of Germany’s regulatory agency for energy called on residents Saturday to save energy and to prepare for winter, when use increases.

Federal Network Agency President Klaus Mueller urged house and apartment owners to have their gas boilers and radiators checked and adjusted to maximize their efficiency.

“Maintenance can reduce gas consumption by 10% to 15% ,” he told Funke Mediengruppe, a German newspaper and magazine publisher.

Mueller said residents and property owners need to use the 12 weeks before cold weather sets in to get ready. He said families should start talking now about “whether every room needs to be set at its usual temperature in the winter -- or whether some rooms can be a little colder.”

The appeal came after Russia reduced gas flows to Germany, Italy, Austria, the Czech Republic and Slovakia earlier this month, as European Union countries scramble to refill storage facilities with the fuel used to generate electricity, power industry and heat homes in the winter.

This Winter is going to be crunch time in Europe for natural gas supplies.

Likely it will be the last hurrah for Putin/Russia to be able to use it as strong weapon against them.

Nonpossible.

The Russians will capitulate any day now, and provide free energy to Europe in perpetuity.

I heard rumors that Germany is heading to BRICS, for energy concerns. Or, perhaps energy necessity.

The world’s reserve dollar oil currency is doomed. NCSWIC for it.

The Germans voted themselves back to the Dark Ages years ago.

Henry Hub piped natgas is at 5.62 per mmBtu. Netherlands TTF LNG futures are at 44.00-45.00 per mm Btu for the coming months.

So far...

Use those few months to prepare to freeze to death in order to punish Russia.

What about all of the methane in the garbage dumps? Instead of flaring it off, put in the pipelines.

Well the Krauts can lay the blame for this fiasco directly at the feet of that fat ass Frau Merkel and the CDU.

Don’t hear much from Frau Merkel these days, do we.

“Henry Hub piped natgas is at 5.62 per mmBtu. Netherlands TTF LNG futures are at 44.00-45.00 per mm Btu for the coming months.”

This comes out to crude oil equivalent of $34/barrel for us and $267/barrel for Europe, for the same amount of energy. They’re already hosed.

Thanks for that conversion!

Interesting that it's hard to find what the EuroPeeings are paying for piped Russian natgas on their long-term contracts.

Almost like the globalists don't want that information bandied about...
