  1.  @MrDanisve  Ah, the good old "German bashing". Weird though, that no country in the EU has problems with the money Germany is paying into the EU fund because of its trading.

  2.  @Tititateo63  Its the other way around, I'm afraid so. The nat gas is mostly (at least in Germany) used as raw material for proceeding things like steel, glass, paper, medical units, Aspirin, car tyres, cosmetics, plastics etc. Only about 15% of nat gas is used for heating in Germany. 43 % of electricity is produced by renewables (wind, solar, water) in Germany. The coal power plants will be used temporarily as power back up in the winter and can also handle the changing inputs from the renewables. EU/ Germany will replace oil/ coal/ nat gas with green hydrogen in the near future. Goal is focused on 2030-2045. Hydrogen can also be used as battery storage for the overloads from the offshore windmill parks and others. If that terrible war wouldn't be, we wouldn't even have to talk about this subject (reactivating coal power plants etc). This situation will just speed up the development towards green energy.

  4. Well, Germany has reduced its Russian nat gas consumption from 56 % (beginning of the war) to 10%. One thing is for shure, eventhough it will be shortly a hard time, the whole of the EU, once it turned its back towards Russian fossil fuels, it will never turn around again. EU/ Germany will replace oil/ coal/ nat gas with green hydrogen in the near future. Goal is focused on 2030-2045.

  10. All of the ex east block countries were fully connected to Russia, because of being part of the ex USSR, and were only disconnected after the war had started.

  11.  @festekj  Quite explosive your statement is. Just looking back the last 500 years and then what?Empty out USA, NZ, Australia, South America and give it back to the First Nations? Half of Europe today would be involved only in Europe swapping people around. Not realistic and doesn't make sense at all.
