It seems that Putin’s strategy to weaponise gas and energy supply may be working, with Europe experiencing some pain already. However, it seems the EU is beginning to prepare for what could be a tough winter. So will Europe run out of gas?

well then theres only one alternative thats to open up the coal mines and in this day and age you cant tell me they cant come up with someway of burning coal cleanly because if they can send a man to the moon of invent electric cars then surly they can burn coal using the same method on a car its called a catalytic converter because i cant see this country running on gas for much longer so come on all you scientific nerds you know you can burn coal cleanly so get off your back sides and start thinking.

@thisismetoday
March 1, 2024 at 8:35 pm
It is a little ironic listening to this Brit explaining how (and I am paraphrasing) mainland Europeans may have to freeze in the upcoming winter as they potentially have to cut energy usage by 15 per cent. When you compare Germany with the UK for example, in Germany most flats/houses are so well isolated that energy costs are always lower than in the UK. When I was living in London, it was normal for people to wear their jackets/jumpers inside their houses in winter because of poor isolation and high energy prices (this was a few years ago already). When I was living in Hamburg, all flats were so well isolated that you didn't have to heat much at all. And I never wore a jacket or jumper in winter when inside a flat. That means, that if people have to cut their energy usage by 15 per cent in Germany in the upcoming winter, they may be equally as cold as Brits have always been in their homes. They will definitely not be colder than what I experienced in a British home in winter in the past.
@thisismetoday
March 1, 2024 at 8:35 pm
7:02 No, there really isn't a "clear paralell" between those two vastly different situations. What does Greece wanting to be bailed out of their debt have anything to do with the current issue of figuring out the best way to circumvent Russian energy dependency?
I am not sure whether it is because this is a UK-based channel, but I've noticed in the past how the channel is very eager to declare Germany as responsible/at fault for everything that's going on in the EU, and as if they are behaving in a bullying manner. They are simply not. Please be more fact-based and less opinionated in your videos (that claim to be explanatory and not pushing a preferred narrative).
@thisismetoday
March 1, 2024 at 8:35 pm
I don't think you realise how ready most mainland Europeans are to take a hit (read: be cold this winter) if it means supporting Ukraine, and rejecting Putin.
The governments just reiterate what we – the demos – are feeling. No one has Jimmy Carter in mind, I can assure you.
@bwhog
March 1, 2024 at 8:35 pm
In many countries, a very large component of gas consumption is power generation. Anything that can be done to substitute different forms of large scale power generation (such as Germany is doing with trying to restart some of its coal plants), the easier it will be to redirect those gas supplies for commercial and residential use. Also, asking Biden to do more to enable exportation of LNG from the US, where it is in abundance, over to Europe would help alleviate the situation.

As a guy from Poland all of this just seems so surreal and downright unbelievable, that the rest of Europe really didn't think that Putin would cut off the gas, their gas storage should be nearly full, why do they not move away from Russia's influence? They're literally a terrorist country, and yet "the democratic and free world" tries to do business with them.
"Free world" my ass.
