German Federal Economy Minister Robert Habeck expressed concern over the looming energy crisis this winter, telling German media that the situation was extremely tense and there is a possibility that Germany may run out of gas.
Habeck spoke on Friday, appealing to Germans to reduce their consumption of natural gas ahead of this winter a day after the German government launched a new price break programme to help Germans with the rising costs of energy.

The British used to use the gas from coking coal to run the street lights...hence the term “town gas”.
Fortunately the Germans have windmills and solar panels with will provide all their energy this winter. They should be crowing about how they are the first country to “transition” (quite a popular term these days).
I think the climate change gods will be getting human sacrifices this winter with thousands of mainly elderly dying from the effects of the cold. One could only hope that Greta Thunberg freezes to death this winter.
Thank you
Its fun to watch the Germans screw themselves over Ukraine.
Chuckle.
Actually, enough for the next 40 years.
Or maybe those threads are all just gas...
aka “Fartin nuggets”...
They better work on firing up the old coal and nuke plants.
Yup.
FROM THE LINKED ARTICLE:
“If everything goes well, savings in Germany are high and if we have a bit of luck with the weather, we will have a chance at getting through the winter comfortably,” he said.
“That means, however, that the storage facilities will be empty again at the end of the winter — in this case really empty, because we are going to use the gas,” he added.

Wow—-“in this case REALLY empty” at the end of winter. “really empty”!
I checked to see what the historical “end of winter” German natural gas storage levels have been. It looks like the beginning of April has been when the typical low level of remaining storage has been reached.
From 2016 to 2021 the “range of storage levels” for April 1st dates has varied from about 18% to 75%.

I wonder how the SHIVERING German people (including those whose jobs are gone because of business shutdowns) will feel toward us if the Swedish/Danish investigation of the Nord Stream crimes begins revealing evidence that the Biden Regime was involved.
