Europe’s energy crisis has led to a shortage of natural gas supplies, and France could pay the price.
French natural gas pipeline operator GRTgaz warned that gas stockpiles are much lower at this point in the year than they have been during years past.
France's energy problems have been exacerbated by the lower-than-usual capacity at the country's nuclear power plants.

The Brits aren't the only European nation to find itself on the verge of a full-blown energy crisis... French natural gas pipeline operator GRTgaz warned that French gas stockpiles are much lower at this point in the year than they have been during years past - and as a result, they run the risk of potentially being depleted before the winter is up, a disaster that could make last year's deep freeze in Texas look tame if a sudden cold snap sends demand soaring.

My suggestion.....
If they have no gas. Let them eat cake
It will also stop them from being at home, using energy.
It's a “two-fer.”
And they wonder why the rest of us don't take them seriously.
Go Green, Frogs!!
It’s time for conservatives to yell ...
Solar — all the oil in the ground, once came from energy the sun dropped on the earth. The trees grew, they fell down, and decayed. IT’S ALL SOLAR ENERGY. No energy ever cam from anywhere other the our sun.
Unexpected.
Thank goodness we have the strategic petroleum reserves huh?!
Remember the globalist were crowing about a “dark winter”...know thy enemies.
Green energy never there when you really need it.
Europe can go dark for all I care, France is the exception, at least they lead in nuclear present reactor problems aside. Sometimes ones highest and best use is to act as a warning to others.
Quick, France. Build more windmills. And cover the Eiffel Tower with solar panels.
See, every problem has a solution. You”vejust got to think it through.
