Germany turns off the hot water: Hanover becomes first big city to ban hot water in public buildings in response to Russian gas crisis

• Hanover first big city to ban hot water and central heating in public buildings
• Lights to be switched off at night on major buildings like museums and town hall
• Germans told to expect higher electricity bills and sweeping gas rationing
• Move is a response to Vladimir Putin's gas squeeze which has Europe panicking
• Russian state energy giant Gazprom cut gas supplies to Germany to 20 per cent

Thought it was bad over here !

They get ~50% of their gas from Putin (how was that ever allowed to be the case).
AFAIK it's not that they don't have enough gas right now, but they are having to drastically reduce consumption to build reserves for winter when no gas will be dangerous rather than inconvenient.

Get those coal-fired stations on!

Trump had more sense on this issue.

They're paying the price now. Poor bastards.

Seems they won't be the last we are on the edge apparently luckily we have the gas (we use little from Russia) but because of price we can't afford to use it. I predict Fracking becoming popular in Europe along with renewed green initiatives.
