German Energy Apocalypse Update VII.

[Mindful]

The only published footage of the damage to the Nord Stream pipelines, featured on my Nord Stream Conspiracy Thread, turns out to come from Expressen, a Swedish newspaper. Their reporters hired undersea drone operators and took a boat out to the site of the explosions off the island of Bornholm. There, they found a sizeable crater and 50 metres of missing pipeline. That this is how the images should have made their way to us, rather than through any official path, speaks volumes about the eagerness of Swedish authorities to suppress this story.

Protests against the insane energy policy of the German government are gathering momentum, particularly in the East; sporadic reports are even appearing in major media outlets now. This is surely one reason that the Minister President of Saxony, Michael Kretschmer, continues to stray from official CDU talking points, calling for negotiated peace in Ukraine and likening EU sanctions to a “tsunami” threatening the German economy.

Feared gas shortages are causing chaos as customers rush to change suppliers in search of better prices, or because their current contracts have been cancelled. Several municipal utilities have flatly stopped accepting new customers, but this option is not available to the so-called Grundversorger or “basic suppliers”—the utilities that supply the majority of gas in their region. These are legally bound to take all comers, and many of them are already having difficulty meeting sudden surges in demand.

Their day-to-day solvency may also soon be a problem:

^ Can’t we just increase our production of biogas to end our dependence on Russia and save the climate at the same time, ask the drooling knuckle-dragging morons at Westdeutscher Rundfunk?

Overall, the share of biomethane in the German gas market could triple, according to a study by the German Biomass Research Centre in Leipzig. The Capital Bioenergy Office says in a statement that biogas plants could offset about 4 percent of Russian natural gas imports in the short term. It also says it is possible for biogas to provide 46% of the electricity from gas-fired power plants.

So, if we put all of our grain into power production, we have the prospect not only of freezing to death, but of starving to death too. I’m glad state media are investigating this promising angle.

Finally, Business Insider has discovered that the real victims of the gas crisis won’t be young children in fragile health or elderly pensioners on fixed incomes, but female professionals. Ordinances requiring offices to set thermostats at 19C, according to some garbage study, will cognitively disadvantage women, while (even worse) advantaging men, who bizarrely are alleged to perform their best at this precise temperature. Happily, though, Tagesschau has consulted Dr. Georg Ertl from the University Hospital at Würzburg, who believes this unfortunate sexism, brought upon us by the furtherance of liberal democracy, can be countered by … caps and stockings.

There is a glut of LNG laden tankers waiting in queue off Europe's coast. Germany should have built more LNG terminals to pipe it into to their system. There is no shortage of gas, just a logjam of supply.

All conflict on this rock has some sort of underlying economic motivation

In the 20th century, energy dictates valuation.

Who produces energy, controls energy.....

Who controls energy, controls economies...

Europe Fends Off Energy Crisis With Huge Stockpile of Natural Gas. An unseasonably warm fall and a big push to import and stockpile natural gas have left energy prices plummeting.​

they can always burn all that vintage furniture they love so much....apparently the planet will be saved only when all humans are frozen corpses

Why?

They have fleets of LNG ships lined up at ports waiting to unload & are overstocked with more gas than they can use!!!
