If you ever saw any video clips from Russian TV prime evening newshour.....which is a chaotic visual circus
You would have seen Putin’s media monkeys jumping around and proclaiming that Europeans would be freezing in the dark. Some FReepers were like this too.
Meanwhile Americans are paying hundreds of dollars more every month for natural gas.
Y’all crack me up.
My houses have neither heaters or A/C.
My HVAC is the Pacific ocean, less than a mile away.
Gets too hot take off clothes, too cool, blankets
are cheap.
Down side is my gasoline prices are a little less than CA state, but way more than yours.
Aloha.
Household energy bills have tripled, and in some cases gone up even more. My electric bill rose from ~ $75 month to ~$300 per month. Even after installing a partial solar electric system it's still ~$150 per month.
I can barely afford to pay the exorbitant rates, many cannot. For instance, my neighbors, two lovely people in their mid-80s, have been forced to freeze in their house this winter because they cannot afford to use their gas heat. My mother-in-law, who lives in Britain, has been forced into similar discomfort, if not danger (she's 70 years old). Her gas heating cost went from ~$100 per month to ~$600 per month - in ONE year.
Such stories abound across Europe so really, I don't want to hear your vile propaganda implying that the energy situation in Europe is okey-dokey.
That being said, to all the warmongering leftist/RINO/WEF/UN/EU filth and propagandists out there who caused this mess (and continue fueling it) by injecting themselves into the conflict to protect their pocketbooks and vile, woke agendas, I say "go to hell." And hopefully some day you'll all be hiding in your basements, cowering for your lives, because the personal suffering and death you've caused, with your totalitarian lockdowns and reckless, self-serving warmongering, has been immense.
keep in mind that the constant between ...
US mmbtu
and
EU mwh
is about 3.4
Putin Stooges Worst Afftected
Putin’s energy war! That’s rich. Are you talking about Putin’s sanctions or when he blew up nord stream? Stoogin’ for your warmongering DC masters.
Our weekly billions paid to Obama’s puppet zelensky on a weekly basis has subsidized everyone but American citizens.
In regards to natural gas supplies Russia needs to look up the word “fungible”.
Now the Russians have tons of natural gas worth pretty much what it was worth when the war started. Meanwhile all the hard currency they would have gained by selling their gas has gone elsewhere. And the Ukes keep holding on. Forcing the Russians to spend millions of roubles a day in continued war efforts.
I don’t have a dog in this fight. Russia is wrong to invade Ukraine. At the same time Ukraine is a incredibly corrupt country. But win or lose I think it’s Russia that’s coming out of this more damaged.

The “new suppliers” are intermediaries whose source is Russia.
“…Putin’s Energy war…”. “…Russia cut gas exports and sparked a price spike.…”
*************************************************************
Yeah… Russia is the villain, it’s refused to sell natural gas to the innocent European governments and did things such as blowing up the Nord Stream natural gas pipeline network that it jointly owns with Germany.
RUSSIA, RUSSIA, RUSSIA… don’t cha know.
thanks for the good news
US blows up Russian pipeline
EU restricts use of Russian oil.
Berliners freeze.
Headline calls that Putin’s Energy War
Zeepers dance and point.
… and so it goes
Sorry, Vladimir.
I don’t use natural gas but yesterday spoke to someone who does. Their bill was for about $17 / 100 cubic feet of gas, the equivalent of $170 / 1000 cubic feet or 1 million btus. A common measure of natural gas for sale. So the burner tip price is equivalent to $170 / mcf
Yesterday, the price delivered to Henry Hub, the common benchmark for natural gas prices, was $2.40.
$2.40/mcf delivered to Henry Hub
$170/mcf delivered to the home.
I don’t get a gas bill so the delivered price is based on what I have been told. I see in one comparison that the common price for NG is about $14 / therm or 100 cf so I am in the range. I had to check several times because it seems to be an incredibly high mark-up to me.
How can they stay in business? Poor things. /s
With enough money, anything is possible.
Gas and electricity prices continue to rise rapidly compared with last year, and most adults in Great Britain are reporting using less fuel in their homes because of the rising cost of living.
Electricity prices in the UK rose by 66.7% and gas prices by 129.4% in the 12 months to January 2023, and were some of the main drivers of the annual inflation rate.

FRANKFURT, Jan 30 (Reuters) - German industry is set to pay about 40% more for energy in 2023 than in 2021, before the energy crisis triggered by Russia's invasion of Ukraine, a study by Allianz Trade said on Monday, citing contract expiries and delayed wholesale pricing effects.

Consumer inflation in France was among the lowest of the EU countries in 2022, due in part to targeted fiscal support. But as 2023 arrives, several factors are skewing inflation risks to the upside. For one, those energy price caps that proved so effective last year in limiting gas and electricity inflation are set to increase by 15% in January and February, respectively.

“These factors are likely to put upward pressure on the prices paid by consumers for services and energy and could, in that sense, make French inflation in 2023 more similar to that of European peers than in 2022,” the authors write.
The daily losses on the Ukrainian side are much higher. The daily clobber list of the Russian Ministry of Defense mentions about 400 Ukrainians killed every day. This is consistent with the numbers Ukraine's government mentioned last summer and fall.
Over the 358 days of the war the total sums up to about 143,000. The Russian reports do not include the number of those who got killed by the Wagner mercenaries in the Bakhmut area. That number is by likely well above 20,000.
On Friday, the benchmark TTF contract fell 5% to a low of 49 euros amid optimism that Europe will avoid shortages this winter and next.
Folks this is a discussion of futures prices, not current cash prices.
The futures market was intended to be used by hedgers and speculators for stability in the market. Today it is all speculation.
