Spain restricts air-con use by businesses as heatwave and energy crisis continues

Spanish businesses, restaurants and museums will not be allowed to set air-conditioners below 27 degrees Celsius in summer or heaters above 19C in winter under new energy-saving rules.The new rules will initially last until November 2023, when the Spanish government will review themPrime Minister Pedro Sanchez proposed public officials and office workers stop wearing neckties in summer months

Shops will also have to keep doors closed and heating systems must be checked more often, Spanish Ecological Transition Minister Teresa Ribera said. The emergency measures were announced following high summer temperatures and gas shortages due to the war in Ukraine, which have put strain on power systems across Europe.Street lighting will not be affected. The measures remain only recommendations for private households, but people have been encouraged to turn off lights and lower blinds.

Last month the EU proposed a 15 per cent cut in gas use from August to March to its 27 member nations.

The VIRUS does not like CLEAN FRESH AIR!

Be prepared fellow Australians this will be our future summers without nuclear baseload.

Our green futures.

But they have solar and wind and ... This is us in a few years ....

So how do you charge EVs, if there are limits in power?

Spain has a 20.8% renewable energy target... you won't believe what happened next!

27C with moving air is tolerable if you aren't active I feel for workers in those conditions though

Tell me again that the sanctions on Russia are working for Europe. Who will buckle first? My money is on Germany

Winter is pretty nice right about now.

Pollution that industrial nations have created has backfired. Now their journey of endurance begins. It's not far that natural resources would deplete. There is no option, except to remedy our mistakes.

There you go... You'll have no heating or cooling and be happy.. Welcome to the new normal.

Govt moves closer to pulling gas triggerAustralia is facing an energy crisis as a new report by the consumer watchdog forecasts concerning gas shortfalls in 2023. Resource crisis what an absolute joke you can trip over nature’s provider This energy crisis is a creation of greed and the Government is a part of it by allowing these greedy companies to sell our resources off shore to the detriment of the Australian public.

Coalition attempts to trip up PM over cash rateAnthony Albanese has accused the Opposition of not “taking responsibility” for its failures in government as the Coalition continued its attack on Labor over rising cost of energy and surging mortgage repayments. Former govt minder here. Said it before the election: whoever won power would face very difficult economic challenges. To date Albanese seems to have spent more time talking Aboriginal issues than economic ones. Rising cost of living did not occur in the last 9 weeks. It happened under the watchful(sic) eye of the LNP over the last 9 years. auspol
