Actually it already is the second of a three stages-alarm plan. If the third stage gets called, prices for houseohglds and consumers could in short time explosed by severla hundred percent, up to 600% within short time. In July, Norstream-1 will be shut down completely for normal reuglar maintence, for two weeks. This is common practice and certain intervals, and normal. But nobody can say that after the 2 weeks inspection and maintenance Russia will care to refill the pipeline again.
If I were the Russians, I wouldn't. Why would I, if I were them?
And the Germans still have not perceived the full scale of follow-on dramas. Costs for materials. Chinese monopoles. Broken global logistic chains. Too few workers. Too few bureaucratic planners. Too few of evertyhign and everyone, everywhere. Their plans to speed up energy revolution - it cannot work because we do not have enough of what it takes to go at that pace. It simply is not possible.
And all this in galloping inflation that is at the risk of tunrign into a hyperinflation by the end of this year or firts half next year.
They still do not overlook the full scope of problems completely, I think. Or they are so scared of what they see that they lie over it due to being in shock, beign paralysed.
I have bought and stored full 200l of petroleum now for my old parents. Their big appartment complex is on ga sheating. With 200l, they can heat 950-1000 hours. When hetaign for ten hours per day, they can last for around 3 months , say Decembre, January, February.
Accoding ovens are almost impossible to buy in germany currently. Petroleum also has become a scare ressource now.
My own house is still on oil. How good that feels. It may become expensive, but oil is easier available on global markets.
