>German city of Hanover bans hot showers in public buildings in reaction to Russian gas crisis
>Becoming the first major city to do so, officials in Hanover have said that hot water won't be available for handwashing in public buildings, swimming pool showers, sport halls and gyms.
>There will also be no night-time lights on major buildings, including museums and the town hall, with public fountains to be switched off to conserve energy.
>Banning portable air conditioners, heaters and radiators, replacing permanent lighting with motion detectors in toilet facilities and limiting the room temperature in daycare centres to 20 degrees are among the other measures.
The "energy crisis" that is tipped off by Russia's sanctions would primarily be a Germany-only issue since few other countries even use natural gas. None of the Nordics do. Southr*ns I don't know, but they can't suffer in their mild weather
Overall this is all a good thing as we'll see countries scrambling to get nuclear plants recommissioned and that'll be the end of any energy problems in the next 20 years

>Rest of Europe should just stop exporting electricity to Germany this winter since they put themselves in this situation UMMMM, user.....
wonder if that ukie in germany will come to this thread and copepost about how everything is fine again
Carter Walker
they have like 40 milion tons of coal but it'z verboten for not being grün enough

how much of a cocksucking retard you have to be to live in a shitty fagunion and not know how things are around you? goddamn you deserve whats coming for you.
Brody Miller
No need to get upset
>goddamn you deserve whats coming for you My electric bill going up with a few percent? I can afford that. I would much rather it didn't though, which is why we should de-link from the EU electric grid and let northern continental Europe sort out their retarded gas dependency
Josiah Hughes
Not my problem

EPEX European power exchange. It essentially is a market for electricity.
It, however, is not completely integrated. There is trade between the different zones but to my knowledge often under restrictions
France currently suffers from the heatwave (more consumption) and issues with its nuclear reactors (maintenance, repairs, cooling water in rivers gets scarce/too hot forcing lower generation).
Electricity markets typically function via auctions. Each provider offers to sell its electricity at a certain price.
The plant providing the last bit of electricity needed to meet demand aka the marginal plant essentially determines the price of electricity everybody gets on the market, e.g. from the looks of it the marginal plant currently is a coal plant in Germany
The cheaper that plant can produce electricity the cheaper the market price.
If the price is very high/electricity is scarce, very costly producers actually get to sell their electricity (oil burning powerplant, gas at the moment). Normally nobody would buy from them.
The marginal cost of renewables is dirt cheap, so the Nordics have insanely low prices at the moment, sometimes even negative.
>The relative large difference in some Nordic countries is due to their zoning practices. If a zone produces a lot of electricity without needing it, prices go down encouraging providers to shut off costlier producers or try to sell it to other zones but transmission rights need to be bought (transmission is also a scarce resources, they don't have unlimited capacity).
This is the Dark Winter they were pre programming us for the last two winters. Expect cyber attacks and more logistical disruption. Energy crisis will spark financial crisis and food crisis. Full on global famine next year.

>the southern parts ... the parts linked to the EU power grid... Peculiar
I live in the middle portion of and won't notice much this winter
That being said my electric bill is already more than you earn in 3-4 months with a graduate job. That is how much of a third world poverty-stricken shithole your country is. It would take more than 100 years for Russia to catch up with EU.
Tyler Martinez
Germany is the core of EU supply chains

no hot water means the pipes will get infected with bacteria and other types of diseases
Hunter Gray
We are still exporting gas btw

>"I l-like to get fucked in the ass, you won't understand it in your fagfree giant cold country" you're absolutely right leddit nigger, I will not
James Lewis
No excuse to drag other countries down in other areas because "muh solidarity" unless they start directing some money our way. Countries should benefit equally
Ryder Gutierrez
That's only true if you water has below 60°C and isn't moved at all. If it's completely cold, there will be no issue, just like with your regular cold water tap.
Christopher Campbell
>in your fagfree giant cold country It is only cold because you cannot afford heating I doubt it is fagfree either, else you wouldn't have AIDS levels literally on pair with Africa. Where does all the AIDS come from?
Oliver Long
>German city of Hanover bans hot showers in public buildings in reaction to Russian gas crisis Public buildings? Refugee centers?
Landon Nelson
who benefits from a destroyed germany?
John Roberts
the climate is pretty cold on average but we have central heating, look it up it's pretty cool. Anyway, you might want to use your PC for something more productive, electricity might be kinda pricey in a few couple of months.
Kevin Evans
Nothing is going to happen, German angst at work, with the usual anti German suspects blowing things out of proportion.
Nicholas Sullivan
>Refugee centers? Those are residental building, not public ones.
Don't know, maybe our moral high ground will keep us warm come December.

Juan Morales
Coming from the energy sector, I can tell you that this is, for once in a lifetime, not simply german angst in motion. We actually have a problem this time around.
Gabriel Ortiz
I could buy you and your family many times over If we lived in older days I could literally buy you and keep you as my slave
That is how impoverished you Ruskies are
What's your cope for this? State below
