The realists in Europe are already reacting. In Poland they are waiting in lines that are miles long to buy COAL.

One of the most popular searches on GOOGLE in Germany is
FIREWOOD

They are predicting BLACKOUTS in Great Britain in January. The coldest month of the year.

There was a Pub in Ireland that posted their Bi-Monthly electric bill at just under $10,000 Euros. Businesses will be forced to close.

From the Epic Economist Youtube channel yesterday: Panic Sweep Across Energy Supply Chains As China Aggressively Reselling Russian Gas

Interesting channel. Very professionally done.

Hey Freepers, any thoughts or observations on this Youtube channel?

If in the end, some of the German ‘greens’ that were just willing, paid mouthpieces for Gazprom, to manipulate the German public to demand that Germany become fatally dependent on russian gas, were strung from lampposts for treason, that wouldn’t suck either.

Germany could be forced to scrap Oktoberfest celebrations and its famous Christmas markets as officials desperately search for ways to save energy after Russia began throttling gas supplies to Europe.

Hanover, yesterday became the first major city on the continent to announce it will turn off all hot water in public buildings to conserve energy, while Berlin has begun dimming streetlights and Augsburg has turned off public water fountains.

Although Europe is scrambling to get energy from elsewhere, any difficulties this winter could be a harbinger of worse to come if Russian gas supplies are completely severed and stay off through 2023, said France’s minister overseeing energy, Agnès Pannier-Runacher.

“If gas deliveries are cut by the end of the year, that will mean we’ll have a full year without Russian gas, so the following winter could be even harder,” Pannier-Runacher told French senators.

Tar and feathering was a nice accommodation for people like that too.

I’m going to a wedding in Nov in England and am hoping there is still light and heat there by then.

The goal of green energy isn’t to replace fossil fuels.

The goal is to destroy civil society and build police states upon the rubble.

right ... just reduce prices and all will be well ... except of course, energy supplies will still be grossly insufficient ... but hey, they’ll be cheap, even if you can’t get any ...

and yet, even at the height of the war they could still afford to stay warm...

>>You can NOT run a modern society on solar panels and wind mills. The European’s are going to discover this first hand.<<

For crying out loud America, Learn from the shit that will be hitting Europe because, basically, you’re just as stupid. You were lucky to have Trump
You have Biden now, which means you are in deep doo-doo for as long as he stumbles around in the WH.

I remember the time when electric blankets were the rage. Issue each citizen a solar panel and/or windmill and electric blanket.

[nascarnation]

I wonder if there is a tracker for firewood prices?

The Russians have far more of a valid reason to be in Ukraine than we did in EITHER Iraq war 1) to save the ethnic Russian population from genocide, which Biden encouraged when he got into office and 2) because we turned Ukraine into a national security threat to the Russians by arming with offensive weapons, running biolabs with deadly pathogens in them and by teasing NATO membership.

You keep ignoring the FACT that Russian came to us with those security concerns in December, trying to avoid this war. THAT IS NOT the action of an aggressive nation. It an act to try to come to peaceful end to the eight-year civil war in Ukraine that we fomented by instigating the Maidan revolution.

Most modern homes/offices/hospitals in Europe depend on a central heating system. There are no provisions to burn open fires in fireplaces like were available in the 19th century. The burning of wood and coal for winter heating is no longer a viable option or be ready for massive home fires. Firewater pressure require firepumps. Firepumps require electricity and electricity is supplied by er....windmills. Aw shit, wrong planning.
