Germans cut gas consumption amid war, warm weather {down by 31% year on year}
DW ^ | 21 October 2022

Germany's national network regulator says gas consumption last week was down 31% compared to figures from 2018-2021. Officials say that has to do with unseasonably warm weather as well as heightened consumer awareness.

According to the Bundesnetzagentur, Germany's federal network regulator, households and light industry in the country consumed less gas last week than the average for the same period between 2018-2021. The news followed a similar find from the week prior.

Agency President Klaus Müller said households consumed an average of 608 gigawatt-hours per day in calendar week 41, compared to 881 GWh/day in previous years — a drop of 31%.

Weekly industry consumption was 1,152 GWh/day compared with an earlier average of 1,526 GWh/day from 2018-2021.

Speaking in the western German city of Bonn, Müller noted that Germany is currently well positioned to make it through the winter without serious trouble, despite Russia's invasion of Ukraine and what that has meant for Europe's gas supply.

He noted the work of the federal government in filling strategic gas reserves as having helped get Germany on better footing, adding: "We're also seeing the first gas consumption savings. That is encouraging, we have to keep it up."

Germany's reserves are currently at 96.49% of capacity, despite a halt to Russian gas imports in August — Russia had been Germany's main gas supplier until Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered an invasion of neighboring Ukraine.

Whatever the current situation, that selling of firewood is normal. Unlike California, Germany allows burning of wood in fireplaces. You see that in German supermarkets, at least when I’ve been there (Munich, Dusseldorff and Mannheim, etc.).

No “all across Europe “. There’s one in Prague, but nowhere else now towarisch.

Perhaps you need to look at the protests in Omsk, Novosibirsk etc. Eh?

The Austrian woman doesn’t say she has to, she said she is doing it to save costs fir herself. She’s a prepper. Next you’ll post videos of preppers in the ozarks and san Francisco homeless to convince your comrades that all if the USA looks like that.

Tell your masters in the Kremlin that the Soros-Putin plan is failing.
