Germany “gets more than half of its natural gas needs from Russia” and “almost half of all German households heat their apartments and houses directly and many more indirectly via district heating.” reports German energy site Blackout News here.
But to punish Russian president Vladimir Putin, German leaders are now calling on citizens to endure pain by cutting back on their consumption of natural gas to heat their homes and cook their food. Already there’s talk of rationing natural gas over the coming winter, and German politicians are desperate to find a way to explain it. “If you want to harm Putin a little, save energy,” said German Vice Chancellor Robert Habeck (Greens party).
“Of course, ‘freeze to hurt Putin’ sounds better than ‘government rationing gas,” writes Blackout News, which expects Russian gas supplies will eventually be halted and rationing inevitable. The construction of liquefied gas terminals in Germany that has been announced will take years to complete.
Currently natural gas prices in Germany have skyrocketed to already painful levels. “Households with low incomes will soon not be able to afford heating,” says BlackOut News.
So much has the pressure grown in Germany to conserve gas, that “a group of energy experts is already recommending that politicians change rental law regarding the minimum temperature in rented apartments. In doing so, the experts consider comfort restrictions next winter to be conceivable and possibly necessary,” reports Blackout News.
That means tenants may find themselves freezing in underheated apartments all winter long. But it’s all for a good cause, politicians are insisting.
Unless the bitter conflict between Russia and Ukraine gets resolved soon, which few experts believe, Germans and Europeans can expect a lot of pain, especially over the coming winter. The bill for the country’s energy policy debacle is coming due, and it will be a real eye-popper
The situation has become so critical that even Habeck now sees the light and “wants to bring coal-fired power plants back online and is even thinking about extending the operating lives of the last nuclear power plants”, two sources of energy that have long been vilified in Germany.
But generating electrical power from coal and nuclear will not solve the German heating problem, noted Blackout News. “It is completely utopian to believe that the heating system in 50 percent of all households can be quickly converted.”
Baerbock and Habeck campaigned to be ‘in-sync’ with D.C. .
Now German voters at every gas-station see the price of ‘in-sync’ .
Since most voters act on the ‘portmonae’ problem (French borrowed from Napoleon’s occupation which sent 250,000 Bavarians to Moscow on a one-way ticket), expect some interesting developments.
What is DC (besides direct current)?
It probably means District of Columbia. I see this:
“Annalena Baerbock, is currently the most US-friendly political figure that is prominent in Germany. She speaks in sync with the American foreign policies,”

Right, so the ordinary citizen has to bear the brunt of sanctions on Putin. But what sacrifices do the big guys make? Why not get the Rockefellers or the Rothschilds or the Gates’s to put up $100 billion to subsidize fuel prices?
If government stupidity takes over it is time for der Burger to prepare….
