Image: ABACA/PA Images EUROPE’S FEAR OF a long winter with scarce energy supplies because of Russia’s war in Ukraine are expected to top an annual speech by EU chief Ursula von der Leyen on Wednesday.

“The courage of the Ukrainian people has touched and inspired the world. Europe will stand with you every step of the way,” von der Leyen tweeted alongside photos of her and Zelenska in Strasbourg. EU countries are also wary of giving the commission too much power over their national energy policies, even though those have already been swept up in a bloc-wide push towards renewables as part of a carbon-neutral future.

Russian ‘blackmail’ Finnish Prime Minister Sanna Marin — whose country is joining NATO because of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine — said that Putin was trying to “blackmail” Europe. The EU’s top diplomat, Josep Borrell, told MEPs that European consumers were “going to have to adjust heating habits” in the months ahead.

Sieg Heil ✋🏻

Europe is determined to auto destruct and is possessed by a spirit of millenarian climate doom and a political class fixated on control of every facet of people lives.

'Without gas, or without you? Without you.'

Managing energy demands 'key to avoiding blackouts'The EU Energy Commissioner has said managing energy demand will be key to avoiding blackouts in Europe this winter and citizens will have to play their part. No. 'Have to play our part'? We have no part in this crisis, we're on the receiving end of it. There is absolutely zero responsibility for this mess that falls onto us. You created it - you solve it. Can I assume that it might be more energy efficient to use a couple of electric space heaters to heat the couple of rooms a person is using rather than turn on gas fired central heating for the whole house? Never was too sure which is worse.
