gas storages are now almost totally filled,at 96.76 % , 1.7% more than 7 days ago
and the weather in most of Germany will be **even warmer** next week
at curent rate, gas storages will be 100% filled in 13 days
Amazing … now the same German companies who pushed for cheap Russian criminals’ resources can continue to use more energy to fabricate products for the Russians and to continue to cash in Russian blood money profits.
Important is that the Russians can continue to enjoy the western products while they are mocking us with the abundance of western products in Russia’s western supermarkets.
Hopefully, with La Niña persisting, temperature stays at least not colder than average in Europe this winter.
Russia: we’re going to cut off your gas supplies, you’ll have to be very stingy next winter!
Germans (wearing socks and sandals indoors): don’t threaten me with a good time!
The strange thing is multiple radio channels (DLF and NDR for example) here in Germany talk about only 7% less consumption than the years before.
[meanwhile in Austria](https://www.salzburg24.at/news/oesterreich/oesterreich-spart-weniger-gas-als-andere-eu-staaten-128699377)
(article in German, summary: Austria is using less gas as well, but still more than it could and way more than some other European countries who have been saving up to half (!) of normal gas usage)
So far weather is definitely not cooperating with Russian blackmail attempts. It is almost November and I still have 21-23 degrees inside without turning on heating even once.
I don’t remember similar temperatures at this time of the year but I might be wrong .
