It hasn't worked, unless the plan is to deindustrialize Europe.

More than three million low-income households cannot afford to heat their homes during the current spell of cold weather - putting their health at risk, according to new research.
It comes as the Met Office warns of the Arctic blast hitting the UK, which could cause overnight temperatures as low as -10C by the end of the week.
The UK Health and Security Agency has issued a Level 3 cold weather alert - and says vulnerable people should heat their homes to at least 18C, wear extra layers of clothing, and eat hot food to protect themselves.
But about 710,000 households cannot afford to follow this advice because they cannot pay for warm clothing, heating and food, and another 2.5 million families on low incomes are going without.
"People are being forced to wager their financial health and whether they can afford more debt, against their wellbeing without sufficient heat, clothing or hot food."

Another layer of Russian oil sanctions should fix this mess.
The Great Reset moves forward.
The answer, the fix for this is so simple it’s stupid. But no, keep voting in woke jackasses with their crazy delusional beliefs. The woke jackasses AREN’T going to have any trouble beating their homes. Carry on, idiots.
Create a crisis = more control and profit.
Record inflation here, rampant crime, jobs shipped overseas, corrupt fake POTUS, millions of illegals coming in, tent cities in the major cities with record overdoses and people voted....for more of that.
Can’t underestimate the blinders on the typical American as all media (news, late night talk, movies, tv shows) perpetuate the communist narrative.
The Russians would LOVE to sell them the energy they need, and at cheap prices, but THEIR OWN governments won’t permit that.
Russia can sell, but can’t deliver.
It hasn't worked, unless the plan is to deindustrialize Europe.
A little warm weather would be real nice about now....
That should move the middle east Africans Asians back to their homelands!
Maybe they can burn their solar panels.
Curious what “dangerously cold” is. It was -20* (F) yesterday morning here in ND. Yes, dangerously cold. Appears though from

They’re talking about 40* (F)
You layer up. It’s crisp. It would be nice to have heat, yes. For an extended period of time, sucks. But “dangerously cold”?
Trump’s and Globull Warming’s fault <- leftidiots
Exactly. Self reliance is so yesterday. All the government wants in exchange is everything.
“Russia can sell, but can’t deliver.”
Kind of hard to deliver when the West is blowing up their own pipelines.
Yep.
They get what they vote for.
However, the illegals that are being housed there in homes pensioners were thrown out to make room for them and their 20 kids of are quite toasty and well fed.
And yet the UK government encourages illegal migrants, all fighting age males, to come into the country and house them in fancy hotels.
Combine this with Christianity now being a minority, Muslims and Hindus clashing, Pakistani rape gangs targeting white English girls, etc.. and you have a situation that has gone far beyond justifying a revolt. The people of the UK have been totally sold out, their ‘leaders’ have allowed their country to be completely compromised by external interests. Clearly treason.
I guess they haven’t had enough Socialism shoved up their asses yet.
Coming soon to America.
They can’t seem to connect dots. They are suffering in cold because of global warming.
How many of those 710,000 are illegal Muslim refugees looking for a free handout?
