European Union policymakers have started to prepare the public for siege conditions this winter if gas supplies from Russia are completely cut, an effort to demonstrate diplomatic resolve as well as avoid panic later in the year.
In recent weeks, officials from Germany and other EU member states have begun to talk openly and urgently about the need for immediate reductions in consumption in advance of the peak winter heating season.
They have also started to plan publicly for compulsory allocation, including rationing and prioritization among industrial users, as well as sharing among member states in the event there is not enough gas to supply everyone.

Article links to 'zerohedge.com' which, IIRC, is not acceptable here so active link in next comment. Now, if someone would hurry up and make a bunch more solar panels and windmills we could solve this problem. Right? Hello? Bueller? π΅βπ«ππ©

Whatever it takes to continue our war to break up the Russian Federation and get WWIII really going.

I hope it’s a very cold winter. They need to learn.

In a few months, they will be hoping for global warming. Maybe that’s why they are pursuing these insane policies; they actually believe that winter is not coming.

I love how Europe ‘plans ahead’ for everything when it’s too late.

Apparently the “powers that be” have never had to attempt to perform tasks in extreme cold. That’s for peons to do I guess. Warmer is more survivable to a point.

Actually the USA has among the world's largest supplies of natural gas. We could export enough liquid LNG to supply all of the gas needed in Europe, and rake in billions of dollars per year.
That would be winning for America.

Berlin_Freeper you will be in my prayers this winter.

That would be winning for America. Yes it would but during WW III I doubt that many LNG tankers would make it across the ocean. An LNG tanker is basically a floating bomb waiting for just one spark and in the age of missiles they don't stand a chance.

During their earnings call yesterday, ExxonMobil confirmed that the Groningen gas field in The Netherlands has plenty of capacity that can be tapped immediately. All that’s needed is the political will to crank up production.
It seems the EU, like the US, prefers to beg foreign enemies for energy supplies instead of using their own resources.

The resurgent Russian Empire versus the incipient Fourth Riech. Battling for the plentiful resources of the Ukraine.
It’s like an ugly real life game of Risk.
