"Personally, my energy bill was 80 euros and my daughter just started private school costing 600 euros a month."

So with Germany's Electrical rates running 10 times that of the average American rate you'd essentially have an electric bill of eight dollars a month here in America. What do you live in, a porta potty-sized apartment where the toilet is next to the kitchen stove?

Either you are lying or you live in a box. Enjoy owning nothing.

Sure you do. Is one of your "bathrooms" the kitchen sink?

You asked and I answered.
I hope you have high ceilings to keep your angry blood pressure from going through the roof.

Now let me ask you a question. A simple question. Are you an American citizen?

I guess putting your toaster away was worth it. When you are chewing bark this winter give a shout out and I will send you a care package.

2015 - Their Rates Might Be Higher, But Germans Pay Less Than Americans for Electricity
Germans easily pay twice as much as Americans for a kilowatt-hour of electricity. But, German households actually pay less per month on their power bills according to analysis published this week by Craig Morris at the German Energy Transition (Energiewende).

“European natural gas prices plunged the most since March after Germany said its gas stores are filling up faster than planned. “

Germany has the biggest gas storage capacity in Europe. Which makes sense.

That’s the problem of attacking your customers... You might cause one season of pain, but then, the pain is all Russias as their industry and main source of income will be avoided like the plague.

Yet on Monday, Zelenskiy accused Russia of trying to prevent European nations from filling their gas storage facilities. Ha! While Germany’s claiming it’s a good go.

Who to believe echoes yet again!

Every winter I do some experimenting to look for easy-to-grow firewood alternatives, mostly from annual crops. So far, corn cobs and sunflower disks keep coming out on top. Most crop wastes, such as bean vines or sunflower shells, just smoulder, even when compressed into blocks.

The stuff that just smoulders I use to make biochar, which is very useful in the garden. I suppose the char could be compressed to make something like briquettes and used for fuel, but that means extra processing steps.

A 2-slice toaster doesn’t use very much electricity. Less than a hair dryer.

You can have your toast!

“For instance, if you own a 900 watt four-slice toaster that toasts four slices every day for an entire year, then it will consume approximately 25 kilowatt hours the entire year. This implies that even the most serious energy conservatism’s can toast their bagel and artisan bread slices with a clear conscience and instead shift their focus to other energy saving activities.”

"You Have No Idea How Bad Europe’s Energy Crisis Is"

D-bags do not deserve squirrel meat, I would send you cat meat at best and save the elk meat for myself. Nobody hunt squirrels in Wyoming but we do have stray cats.

Here is how I know that you are lying to everyone on this form about your electricity bill. Check out this article 'You Have No Idea How Bad Europe’s Energy Crisis Is' https://foreignpolicy.com/2022/08/26/europe-energy-crisis-natural-gas-economy-winter/

It’s your war of invasion, that you are supporting, so why are you not fighting it?<

Because the militias of the DRP and LRP with Russian help are kicking the asses of the neo-Nazis and Ukrainians and liberating their homeland. That is the way it should be.

They will be in my prayers, though, because their cause is righteous one. They are in a battle with new evil empire, which is US under Biden and the globalist monsters running the "liberal world order".
