Globalist Germany is in such a crisis that it’s turning to coal — which globalist green activists argue has a higher health cost due to pollution and accidents (from the mining and extraction of the fuels).
Germany announced “emergency measures after a drop in supply of Russian gas…
The move comes after Moscow turned up the pressure last week on Western allies, sharply reducing flows of natural gas in its pipelines to Western Europe.
Now, with tail between legs, Germany has admitted: “We were all wrong” in its Russian energy dependence.
Germany was so arrogant and sure of itself that its representatives at the UN laughed at Donald Trump in September 2018 for his accurate warning about its dependency on Russian oil:
CBS, meanwhile, joined in to ridicule Trump. Now that Trump was proven right, the unreliable minions in the Leftist mainstream media who ganged up against him have egg on their faces. But they’ll continue to cover for each other and slam Trump at every opportunity.
“‘Our product, our rules’: Russia sends alarm bells ringing over Europe’s winter gas supplies,” CNBC, June 17, 2022:
LONDON — An ominous warning from Russia’s state-backed energy giant Gazprom has stoked fears of another turbulent winter for European gas supplies.
As a pre-summer heatwave hits Western Europe this week, policymakers in the region are scrambling to fill underground storage with natural gas supplies to provide households with enough fuel to keep the lights on and homes warm before the cold returns.
Fears of a severe winter gas shortage are driven by the risk of a full supply disruption to the EU — which receives roughly 40% of its gas via Russian pipelines. The bloc is trying to rapidly reduce its reliance on Russian hydrocarbons in response to the Kremlin’s nearly four-month-long onslaught in Ukraine.
The worry for many is just how dependable Russian gas flows are to Europe as the conflict continues and as economic sanctions bite. Indeed, Moscow has already cut gas supplies to Finland, Poland, Bulgaria, Denmark’s Orsted, Dutch firm GasTerra and energy giant Shell for its German contracts, all over a gas-for-rubles payment dispute.
More recently, Russia’s Gazprom opted to further limit supplies via the Nord Stream 1 pipeline that runs from Russia to Germany under the Baltic Sea, and reduced flows to Italy.
Gazprom on Wednesday cited a technical problem for the supply cut, saying the issue stemmed from the delayed return of equipment serviced by Germany’s Siemens Energy in Canada. Austria and Slovakia have also reported supply reductions from Russia.
What’s more, in fiery comments likely to have sent alarm bells ringing throughout the bloc, Gazprom CEO Alexei Miller said Thursday that Russia will play by its own rules after the firm halved supplies to Germany……
