European Union is rationing gas across the bloc in the hopes of fighting shortages this winter, with the public being told to expect a tripling of prices.
As supplies go down and prices go way up, the European Union is now seemingly fearing a breaking point may be soon upon its member states, with the Commission now reportedly penning an emergency rationing plan for if Russia decides to cut countries off from its energy exports entirely.
Meanwhile, the general public is starting to really sweat in Germany, with recent polling suggesting that over 60 per cent of people in the country fear that there will not be enough gas to go around this winter, while the country’s federal gas network agency has told consumers of the fuel to expect prices to triple by 2023.
According to a report by Die Welt, draft EU measures aimed at curbing gas use will include limiting the heating of public and commercial buildings to 19 degrees Celsius, or around 66 degrees Fahrenheit, during the winter months.
Private households will also be heavily encouraged to turn down their thermostats by one degree, in a move echoing suggestions made by some interest groups at the start of the war.
“Acting now can reduce the effects of a sudden supply disruption by a third,” the draft proposal reportedly reads, before also noting that “everyone can now save gas” and that “the higher the reduction through voluntary measures, the less the need for mandatory restrictions for the industry.”
The European measures also say that, while the likes of housing and hospitals will be prioritised in the event of a gas shortage caused by Russia cutting supplies, individual member states within the bloc will be allowed to syphon gas away from these sources to power plants of electricity also becomes an issue.
Die Welt goes on to report that the draft will be presented on Wednesday next week.
While the EU reportedly gets ready to forcibly reduce gas usage throughout the continent, individuals in Germany who use gas to heat their homes appear to be beginning to sweat as massive shortages over winter begin to look more and more likely.
According to polling published by Der Spiegel on Thursday, 63 per cent of the population are afraid that there will be a shortage of gas for private households this coming winter, with that number rising to 67 per cent among women in Germany.
Meanwhile, the country’s Federal Network Agency, which is responsible for the regulation of gas markets in the country, has warned consumers that they need to expect their monthly instalments to triple by 2023.
“By 2023, gas customers will have to expect the instalments to triple, at least,” authority president Klaus Müller reportedly said regarding the issue.
Parts of the German government are now suggesting that the West needs to be open to negotiating with Russia, with a faction of the ruling Social Democratic Party saying that wars rarely end in decisive victories.

>19 degrees Celsius, my heater is set at 18c. fucking wimps.
Luis Rivera
Death to Pisskraine
Connor Richardson
gazprom still sending us our supply right?
Blake Parker
they say that
Camden Thompson
I say we dip out of this nigger ass union and fagnato, they want to take away our gibs anyway so what's in it for us
Jayden Anderson
Don't really see any reason they won't if Orbán keeps doing what he's doing
Levi Bennett
You really think the communists would do that? Just ration energy after selling everybody on greenie bullshit that did nothing but enrich their industry buddies?
James Adams
The fact that with the current state of the country without EU gibs we will go to Egypt levels poverty in a couple of months
Lucas Powell
They can't let to anyone leave them. Also we are on the same continent, and every neighbouring country is in the EU.
>Meanwhile, the general public is starting to really sweat in Germany, with recent polling suggesting that over 60 per cent of people in the country fear that there will not be enough gas to go around this winter
guess the German government needs to work on delivering more sauerkraut then
Angel Lewis
that's bullshit in the first place but they're taking the gibs anyways so what reason is there to stay serbia isn't, ukraine isn't, britain left, the eu is a shabby afternoon tea club at best, there's literally no downside to just leaving it
Oliver Nelson
...
Gavin Campbell
Not my problrm. My heating and electricity run on locally mined coal
Colton Allen
>serbia isn't they are in, just not officially. they are doing every shit what they EU command. >ukraine isn't no one really wants hoholands. they exist to have a buffer zone between the EU and RUS. >britain left they could, because that a continent independent island.
Luis Bailey
Sure looks like Zelenky is winning, for himself.
Cameron Wilson
Is kangaroo penis considered to be any kind of a delicacy? Do people sport kangaroo pouch hats or gloves or anything?
not really that's the entirety of eastern europe anyone could leave
Kevin Stewart
How about they just stop sucking americas and ukraines cocks and let Russia do its thing and create normal conditions for their own populations instead
I'm not a lefty faggot but how is that bullshit? The only thing this country has going for it now is 'muh Budapest tourism' and cheap labour from foreign countries. What else is there? Take away EU gibs, easy tourism for other EU citizens and possibly foreign companies withdrawing or at least having higher costs of operating because of regulations and we're back to the stone age. Unless I'm missing something, please let me know what other economy this country has. Also, yes the EU globohomo is shit but until (rather unless, how many times have they threatened?) the gibs stop, it makes no logical decision to leave
No wonder so many Prime Ministers retire or quit, imagine being a PM during this shitstorm.
Evan James
>leave You really have no idea or plan how should this work in the reality. The EU would sanction your ass to the death just to demonstrate strength and discourage others from leaving.
Also even the continent independent UK has sucked hard and no one would dare to say they came out as winner from the negotiation or the leaving.
Easton Parker
time to let them separate, and empower them to choose their own destiny instead of being slaves to the WEF, like freemen
And those fucking greens pressured me to throw away my oil heater to get something more "environment friendly". WHO IS LAUGHING NOW?? FREEZE TO DEATH YOU FUCKING GREENTARDS
Josiah Perez
>19 degrees Celsius that would be actually based maybe morons wouldnt turn up the heat to fucking 25 like some psychopaths
Jackson Nguyen
they are and the best part is they are still selling at old contract prices to germany therefore the high price is only happening once it lands in Germany. Are you wondering why that happens? You are probably a anti semite. Add to the fact that Ukraine is still getting gas and other stuff from Russia despite being at war with them or Poland siphoning off the German gas reserve but they keep denying it even if given proof.
Jeremiah Bell
>eu dies >everyone else >buys Russian oil at 50$ discount Our leaders are mentally ill. They are closing to kill whole system they build and love. For what? Becouse some butthurt feelings over russia. Fucking saudis are even buying Russian oil. Probably Turkey and Israel too. Only one who gonna suffer from this is Europe. Not Russia not America and not third world. Fucking europe
timmermans is already scared shitless in an article about uprisings, and suddenly all the western media started attacking us and Orbán
They are afraid, lads! We have to hold out for half a year and the entire EU might come crashing down. Hell, governments are ALREADY falling and its still only summer
Jeremiah Wilson
The issue is retarded since we never said we indent to curble/stop gas supply to EU. Not once.
The gas crisis started way before war because EU cancelled longterm conracts with Russia and force gas trading at spot prices. Which resulted in speculation and buying non existeng gas features at 10x prices. EU refused to sign any long term contracts, didn not actually order gas, hoping price will fall later- they instead rose
So the only things actually limiting delivery of cheap gas: 1) Cancelling Northstream 2 2) Blocking SWIFT, resulting in need to pay in Rubles for gas - which EU initially refused, but then cucked 3) EU making no actual orders to BUY gas, since they still refuse long term contracts, while they cant afford to buy it at spot price 4) particulaly with NS1 - EU sanctions made so critical part, the Siemens turbine, coudnt be deliverede in time
Its ironic, since we fucking sell gas right now to UKRAINE, country we are at war with
Because they are globohomo puppets and WEF whores. They are playing their part for personal gain and profit.
Andrew Roberts
Central Europe bought gas from soviet Union at peak of cold War. So what is it now that they are willing to freeze people to death rather then just buy said gas
Nathaniel Morales
Nooo it was the Russians that installed green retards in office, we would never be that stupid!
Hudson Gutierrez
How come the netherlands, the country famous for wind mills, doesn't have infinite free wind power?
If this doesn't make people kick off and guillotine their leaders I don't know what will.
Blake Sanchez
You do know that the plant has been shutdown indifinetly while they investigate why there are foreign loose parts in secondary circuit and also the plant shit itself and dumped all the bohrium to the reactor core in emergency shutdown?
Easton Stewart
This. All this "energy crisis" is the EUs doing. It must be intentional because no one can be this fucking inept. There is literally zero reason for it to happen, except the westcuck governments trying to virtue signal with AHHHHH IM SANCTIOOOOOOOING.
God, all those ukraine flag profile pic little zoomies blogging about how ukraine is winning are going to be such an awakening soon.
Took the words right out my mouth. Right now the regime propaganda sells it to us as RU using gas as a political weapon - MOTHERFUCKER WO STARTED THESE STUPID SANCTIONS IN THE FIRST PLACE? >Muh turbine, they use it just as an escuse They are doing these repair schedules on a yearly basis - for a good reason? Do you want to turn big parts of NS1 into a fucking pipe bomb or something?
Charles Russell
But this won't lead to you own nothing and you will be happy wef paradise. This will lead to people turning against system. Eventually whole global system will die and break. Right now sanctions have done it. Instead of western led global system. We have non western economies saying fuck US and fuck EU. They are playing both sides. Saying globalhomo lines to please west. And same time trade and rub shoulders whit russia. We are literally seeing g20 turning against g7. You think glaus whatever white ass wi ll make it if he shows his face in Asia or Africa?
Brandon Scott
Well yes. Our PM didn't get kicked out because he locked us down, or for destroying the economy, or for wasting billions. No it was because a gay dude groped another dude and he still gave him a job.
Holy fuck, this is the worst case of dumb fuck contrarians I've seen. Here we have a tiny border country complaining that the I.s. and rest of euros should turn a blind eye and play business as usual. A literal dead brained idiot asking for his country to be turned into a massive labor camp so that senile Russia can larp as USSR again.
This place truly rots the zoom brain.
Brandon Johnson
these eucuck bureaucrats literally live in ivory towers, they circlejerk each other about how virtuous they are and tell the plebs to eat cake if they're running out of bread
Michael Cox
UK will break apart. Scotland will leave. Northen Ireland will have referendum and start negotiations whit Ireland. That's leaves Wales and England. They probably manage to whip out political crisis among themselves.
Jackson Jones
It will work full power before winter.....or we need to put ukraine and russian refugees roll the generator wheels.
Gavin King
This will lead the whole west owning nothing. Other continents will rise and Asia has already passed us. Why the hell would India or other verge nations follow Europe downhill when there's gains to be made following China...
Jackson Baker
Yes, much of them are incredibly fucking retarded and useful idiots but in the end I think its still malice guiding them. No one can be THIS fucking inept, like holy shit how can you fuck up this badly. The sanctions caused russian incomes to soar from the price hike and caused their own economies to collapse within half a year, possibly triggering the greatest recession since 1929.
Nicholas Adams
that was two years of riots over a ~20% gasoline tax it's going to be a fun winter
