I support Ukraine but this is where the EU would have to come to their senses and come to terms with the Russians. They’ll drop their sanctions in return they get to buy Russian gas. Otherwise, it’s lights out in the EU.
Green lunacy leads to the collapse of civilization. If Europe had not abandoned coal and nuclear powered electricity over the past fifteen years, this crisis would not have happened. People will not only suffer but they will die.
The EU is going down the Euro used to be worth 1 dollar and 12 cents not too many months ago now it’s 1.01 euros to a dollar.
The Greenies need to be lynched. This is criminal.
Went down 20 cents in less than a year.
Why can’t they just eat cake?
If only they had installed more windmills and solar cells.
You got it. They have bought the green lunacy hook, line and sinker and are going to pay dearly. On top of it, the green kooks are working to shut down meat production because of nitrogen emissions. A huge amount of energy goes into food production and a huge amount of natural gas is used to make urea to fertilize crops. They are going to face a triple-whammy with skyrocketing energy prices, skyrocketing fertilizer prices, and government efforts to put lots of farmers out of business.
Could this finally lead to a real revolution of the people against the idiotic elites?
Heat or eat.
Aren’t sanctions wonderful?

Peasant revolts have seldom ended well.
That’s right and it equals EVIL.

Gee...recreation through procreation.
That could end the non-Muslim “declining birthrate” problem!
stupid is supposed to hurt
Don’t they have a lot of trees? Pellet stoves are a great, efficient heat source.
“ Why can’t they just eat cake?”
The Germans are talking about firing up their nukes and burning brown coal, and they’ve entered into negotiations with the French to buy Nuke electricity.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!
Watched German TV 2 nights ago...they were interviewing people who got the ‘increase’ letters from the natural gas provider.
So here was a well-to-do retiree (probably 80) and his wife (mid-60s), with a 160 sq meter home (roughly 1700 sq feet). By German standards, it’s huge...three times the space of a normal retired couple. His warning letter said the quarterly pre-pay amount will add up to around 9,000 Euro (roughly $9k). They had been expecting something in the 2,000 Euro range. They stood there in total shock.
Moderator then went to two other couples...in each case, the yearly amount was going to be three times what they paid last year.
They will survive the winter, but you can forecast zero vacations for 2023’s summer, new car sales to halt next year, and mega-recession (unlike the current inflation period). Here’s the ‘cherry’ for the cake...the same thing will repeat in 2023’s winter.
