Are they going to get the same reception as all of the Americans relocating to Mexico City?
Europe could use fuel injectors and vaporizers to vaporize gasoline to run power plants.
Oil heat could be used to heat European homes. Oil-based residential heating used to be common in the northeastern US. My uncle paid 12 cents per gallon in 1948.
I spend much of April 2016 in the UK.
My hosts didn’t spend a pound on heat for me during the time I was there.
Turkey seems a little too close to the impending fallout for my liking.
Did they mean Turkey?
On the south coast of Turkey, for Jan/Feb, the temp is a mild 16 C (61 F). Typically, a lot of the resort hotels would be shut down for this period, but I would imagine some are trying to entire folks.
I did the math (natural gas heat now 4 to 5 times what it was in 2020). If you left in December, and returned in late March...you’d spend the same amount of money...either way. Airline ticket, hotel/resort room, 3 meals a day...all covered for 100 days.
Went there for two weeks in 2010. Amazing country, clean, safe, friendly people and great food!
FIFY
Yes, it is perfectly logical to want to avoid a $300 / month increase in one's heating bill by booking a round-trip airplane flight and four-week hotel stay in a distant foreign country!
Just like I avoid the massive mark-up for oranges my corner grocer charges by flying to Florida myself, and buying them at roadside stands!
Makes perfect sense!

They misspelled “Turkey”.
Türkiye? I guess they got tired of having the same name as the awkward-looking Thanksgiving gobble gobble bird.
