And on top of Russia only delivering half as much as needed, you have countries like Australia who have reduced local supply, put the price through the roof and are focusing on export to countries that already have natural gas because the government prefer to export to everywhere at a loss to get 'foreign' money, instead of letting locals use it at reasonable prices.
It all ties into the whole "green" movement who want the middle class gone and us living worse than animals. When Australia was about to have no power on the east coast last two weeks, the government refused to even put one more coal-powered generator back online as an emergency measure, they then declared that they'd be taking a coal powered power plant offline in December this year whilst also declaring that we'll have more dependence on electricity (new push for EV's and electric cook-tops) and now we're facing huge power shortages this summer.
It's all about reinforcing the old "rulers" and "slaves/peasants" system from before the feudal system - "you'll own nothing and be happy". Not sure if it happens in Austria but in Australia, if you use less power, your power bill doesn't reduce due to increases in "service/connection/maintenance charges" as the private companies who control the services refuse to not make less money than the previous bill.
What we all globally need is a movement to force governments to let us disconnect from the power grid as long as we can show we can be power independent for our needs. In Australia, if you're connected to the power grid, you're limited to how much solar can be generated and stored on your property, even if the solar system isn't connected to the grid.
