What a shame that no one warned the Germans of the consequence of becoming so totally dependent on Russian energy.
“The Greenies need to be lynched. This is criminal.”
That’s really not an exaggeration - these roaches need to be exterminated.
They’ve taken control of every government in the west by sending out armies of “activists” raising hell and terrorizing anyone who stands in their way.
Forcing everybody to buy electric cars will solve the problem. /s
Enron on steroids.
Bailout.
I really hope Europe learns an expensive lesson. It’s time they get a reality check about so-called green energy.
I live in Sicily - since I didn't want another stupid-crazy bill every month, complete with an expensive "standing charge" one must pay whether or not one uses a single Kw of energy, I elected to heat my top floor with a pellet stove.
It works well but in spite of all the greenie cheerleading and hype about how efficient these stoves are the reality is much different: When you do the math, factoring in the electricity required to run the fans, sensors, ignitor etc. it becomes clear that they're no bargain to run and were, costwise, (until recently) equivalent to heating with natural gas.
And now, with the insane increase in the cost of electricity here, they'll be expensive to run, which is why I spent a good part of this summer busting my ass installing a solar electric system and battery bank in 110 degree heat.
I'm not buying pellets either this year - screw that - instead, I'll be using crushed olive pits in my pellet stove because they are less than half the cost of pellets now and only require minor mods to the stove, which I will perform.
I also bought two wood stoves and will install them next week. I can get wood for free, so that makes sense. Hate having to spend time and money to do all of this but the alternative is to be at the complete mercy of merciless, murderous, leftist/globohomo filth.
No matter what the Eurofilth orchestrating this latest crisis do, things will be ok in my house. Unfortunately, a lot of folks who have stood by helplessly and done nothing to prepare for the deprivation and misery that's definitely heading towards Europe are going to suffer badly.
From my perch it's looking more and more like violent revolution will be the only way out for much of Europe.
the globalists elites want public support by force, we will freeze you out with our climate agenda and blame it on the ruskies
Interesting comments. Especially about the pellet stove. I remember the first one I saw had a windup mechanism for the pellets and an optional fan. I think the guy is still using it in a hunting cabin up north in Oregon. Wish I had access to crushed olive pits!
Thank you for your observations.
As I recall, Orange Man warned them about this several years ago, over their cackles and laughing. Who’s laughing now!.
Trump, you Magnificent bastard!
US could supply Europe with American LPG, if only he was still in office. Elections (even corrupt ones) have consequences.
F*ck Joe Biden!
Entirely self inflicted. I will thoroughly enjoy watching it burn.

The price of natural gas in USA markets has dropped more than 10% in the last week - from $9.26 to $7.93 as I write this.
Utterly weird.
Russia completely shuts down NG to Europe, and the price drops!
Redistribution of wealth.
“”Green” on the outside
but RED on the inside!”
Like the watermelon in my refrigerator.
Windup mechanism sounds like a great idea! I’m guessing that if you live out west in the US you can get them, especially in California. Since Sicily is blanketed with olive trees and groves, there’s no shortage of pits.
Thats right. They have very effective tactics. They are overwhelmingly outnumbered but still impose their agenda. Now people are really going to feel the pain.
Schadenfreude or compassion, schadenfreude or compassion.
This is tough one.
Harry wants to retire and move to Rapallo, Italy, dreaming of an idyllic existence in a villa by the sea. Unfortunately for Harry, his memories of Rapallo were from the summertime, when he was there during the war. Now it's winter, and Harry struggles in vain to keep the drafty old building heated.
My house is a gorgeous old townhouse in a medieval, hilltop village, which I singlehandedly restored over a five year period. It was a complete wreck when I bought it. The building is stone with walls three feet thick and concrete tile floors, so it stays relatively cool in the summer but gets chilly, and in some rooms damp, in the winter.
I bought two small wood stoves to solve that problem this season.
That sounds like Harry's villa in the book. He also complains that it it drafty.
