Several members of the bloc have announced emergency plans to boost ‘dirty fuel’ usage amid the shortage of Russian gas
A number of EU countries have launched emergency plans aimed to lower and ration the use of natural gas and resurrect coal-fired power production, Business Insider reported on Tuesday.
This week, Germany, Austria, and the Netherlands announced that coal-generated power could help them cope with an energy crisis in the coming winter. German Vice Chancellor and Economy Minister Robert Habeck said the country made a “bitter” decision to restart coal power plants.
“But if we don’t do it, then we run the risk that the storage facilities will not be full enough at the end of the year towards the winter season. And then we are blackmailable on a political level,” he stated, as cited by Reuters. Austria also announced that it would be converting a gas-fired power plant to run on coal in case of emergencies, while the Netherlands removed its limit on coal-generated energy production.
Reports also indicate that Italy’s coal-fired power plants have been stocking up on coal over the last few months.
Meanwhile, the Netherlands and Denmark on Monday also announced emergency plans that imply gas rationing in case of supply shortages. Italy is also mulling over declaring a state of alert on energy, Reuters reported, citing sources, which means the country could also start rationing gas to industrial users. Germany and Austria have already launched emergency plans of a similar nature.
The shift from EU’s coal-free ‘green energy’ aspirations to the ‘dirty fuel’ came after the bloc’s major gas supplier, Russia’s Gazprom, slashed deliveries by 60% last week through the Nord Stream pipeline. This happened after German maintenance provider Siemens failed to return pumping units from repairs in Canada, due to Ottawa’s anti-Russia sanctions.
Russia has stressed that the move was due to purely technical reasons, as the facility that pumps gas from Russia to Germany and further into Europe is unable to perform at normal capacity, with only three pumping units out of eight in operation.
“We have gas, it is ready to be delivered, but the Europeans must give back the equipment, which should be repaired under their obligations,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Monday, as cited by Reuters.
European officials, however, have slammed the decision as political. The bloc relies on Russia for 40% of its natural gas needs and the cut in deliveries poses a threat to the EU’s energy security. The demand for natural gas is quite high in the region at the moment, as the summer heat forces Europeans to step up the use of cooling systems. However, the situation may worsen closer to the winter months, when the heating season consumption is much higher.
Kyiv Nooooo 🙁
Rewatching the third season of the Roaring 20s. Who's with me?
Russia is in Ukraine not the Ukrainians in Russia. So Russia’s claim that Ukraine initiated the war is ridiculous. Putin is an assassin of all that he claims are his. When he’s done with Ukraine he’s going to move to another country Poland perhaps, Germany perhaps and then what? Stop him before a snowball effect is started.
This time Ukraine is Palestine🤐
Turkey attacked Iraq.
USA: silent.
Europe: silent.
Russia, which has been sanctioned and hated for invading Ukraine
I feel back for the people
I hope they downt attack Dubai UAE
Why? Why!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Usa criminals who start wars and watch them afterwards
If Russia really wants to colonize and kill Ukrainian civilians, it doesn't take up to 1 month to destroy and control Ukraine, Russia only takes 3 days to control Ukraine. But the attack lasted for one month because Russia was very careful to avoid civilian casualties.
Look at Israel, has killed millions of Palestinians, bombarded public facilities in Gaza for over 50 years. No country has imposed sanctions on Israel.
The US, which killed many civilians in Iraq, Libya, Syria, Afghanistan, Hiroshima and Nagasaki, has not imposed any sanctions on the US. Millions of civilians have died for the British occupation of 95 countries. No one sanctioned the British. Millions of civilians have died in the 350 years of Netherland colonialism in Indonesia. No country has imposed sanctions on the Netherlands.
But when Russia only attacked Ukrainian military facilities, the world was abuzz with cursing Russia and sanctioning it. Let's laugh at people in that selfish world. how very childish they are
How do I volunteer for ukraine
РОССИЯ ЛУЧШАЯ 🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺❤️
Great Putin go ahead Against terrorism
STAY STRONG UKRAINE 🇺🇦 I STAND WITH YOU
US AND NATO MUST STAND AND FIGHT FOR UKRAINE, DIPLOMACY AND SANCTIONS HAVE FAILED.
EVIL TRIUMPH WHEN GOOD MEN DO NOTHING, NO PEACE WHILE EVIL EXIST.
#USA, ISRAEL, NATO AND ASIAN ALLIES VS. RUSSIA, CHINA, NORTH KOREA AND IRAN.
#END CORRUPTION, CRIMES, DRUG CARTEL AND TERRORISM.
If I was a Russia killer I would stop Russia from destroying Ukraine

History repeats itself. Hitler of the 21st century – Putin. Putin hates the ukrainian nation and Ukraine and gave the order bomb little Ukraine on February 24 at 4 am bomb Ukraine towns and villages with a civilian population with ballistic and cruise missiles. As Hitler did in 1941. The bloody dictator Putin is waiting for a military tribunal in The Hague for the genocide and murder of the population of Ukraine and the downing of the Malaysian Boeing MH-17.
Brother Russians, you are in a wrong war for Putin. Putin embezzled $2 trillion from poor Russians. That blood money can be used to grow Russia. Put down your rifle and surrender to Ukraine. There is no shame on doing right thing. Putin is lying to you that Ukrainian president is Nazi when he has Jewish heritage and Ukraine is developing nuclear weapons when Ukraine gave up nuclear weapons because they can't maintain them and a fire code is in Moscow.

FJB right in his mouth! That’s where the lies come from!
