Without Russian gas, there is no chemistry, and without chemistry there is no industry.

That's what we saw for a year and more over the covid scam, hundreds of millions of people, not driving, not flying.
Everyone nearly, 90%, believed in the lockdown BS, but it doesn't matter what you believe, at the end of the day we used a lot less fossil fuels and we're back in the same place now, high prices, lower consumption. All following a managed plan to power down society just at the last minute before the gas stations started to run out due to supply demand issues.
I don't believe in coincidences and I don't believe the governments of the world were ignorant of peak oil these last decades as many of the peakoil gurus claimed. They knew, they had plans, they just didn't want to reveal them to the little people.

I don't believe the TPTB cooked up inflation and fuel shortages and then Russia and the west mutually agreed to have a war in Ukraine just to collapse global economies.
You just couldn't keep a conspiracy like that secret.
I think its much simpler..... Putin is just the latest totalitarian megalomaniac to see himself as a great conquerer

Here in Australia the average person couldn't care less about Russia or Putin, it's never spoken of except in the mass media, that everyone takes with a pinch of salt anyway.

You guys are the victims of an 80 year propaganda campaign. The Russians are to you what the Jews were to Germany in 1940.

It isn't as though a bunch of banana benders could do anything about it without our benign protection, lets be honest, without protection from the world's largest economy and best military and largest producer of oil and gas and whatnot, New Zealand would invade you one weekend, turn Tasmania into a prison colony and put all you folks already familiar with this scheme there.

Invading a country takes a lot of effort and resources, especially one surrounded by the sea. I don't think the cost/benefit ratio of attempting to invade Australia looks tempting to anyone.
So does that mean that any small company, like a solar field owner, could jump in and charge any rate they want? Doesn't European regulation put a lid on those sorts of 'opportunities?'cephalotus wrote:Well, winter 2022/23 will get interesting in Germany.
There will be a gas shortaage and natural gas prices are very high.
I guess we will have to lower the room temperatures in winter, industry and power plants already reduced gas consumption. Peok oil pornography, who would have thought that!
That's the simulation of our gas storage during next winter in different scenarios: (in Geman)

Also very intersting / annoing is the fact, that during the biggest energy crises in Europe France is not able to produce (nuclear) electricity and has to import huge amounts. 32 out of 56 french nuclear power plants have been shut down, some of the remaining are only running on reduced power during the heat waves, because they boil their rivers.
Afaik there is no plan how France will get them online again till winter and France has always been an electricity importer during cold winter days even when the nujes are producing. In 22/23 this could become a problem. Forcast eletricity prices for France have already reached at 1€/kWh for December 2022.
