is not limited to poorer nations like Moldova but has surged across richer regions of Europe, too. Germany, Poland and the Czech Republic’s state-owned forests are seeing much stronger demand for the limited amounts of firewood they sell as part of their sustainable forest management.
In Poland, demand for small firewood from state forests grew 46% and larger firewood was up 42% through the end of August from a year earlier. This was even before fall, when demand for firewood is highest. The German Pellet Institute also is warning buyers to beware of fake sellers who demand payment in advance and then disappear.
One of US strategic goal was to cancel Nord Stream 2 and it succeeded. Europe let US wage a proxy war with Russia and this will drag down Europe to abyss.
Just goes to show that green is only good when there is green to be had.
seems like they could gmo some trees to grow faster now
Triggered by what, now? Don't you mean the sanctions that the U.S. and Europe imposed? You have become Official U.S. Government Media when addressing this conflict.
the green craze is by far the bigger reason for fuel shortages and high prices
Going back to the roots of early European civilization..
Firewood is very economical for heating a house. I use 2-3 cords a winter. There is just something about sitting in front of a real fireplace in winter !!
This was avoidable if they simply listened to Republican Ronald Reagan long ago.
The AP keeps throwing environmental impacts into these headlines like anybody trying to stay warm gives an absolute shit.
Oxygen producing trees are a green climate necessity. It's surprising the whole world is not coming down on Biden. He could be helping all of them by drilling for oil. It's really not that hard to comprehend! PEOPLE OF THE WORLD RISE UP, TELL BIDEN TO START PUMPING OIL
disinformation The 'energy crisis' wasn't triggered by Russia's war in Ukraine. It was triggered by the dependence of EU on Russian energy AND the subsequent - and 100% self-inflicted - 'sanctions' against Russian energy.
This crisis is being caused by the sanctions, not the war itself. You’re knowingly spreading false information in order to maintain support for these wrongheaded policies.
This baby will get your house so hot the wallpaper will fall off..construction workers know
Maybe virtue signaling will keep folks from freezing?
Fuck around and find out, eh?
Mel_BrooksSA I hope everyone chopping down trees to stay warm have to pay a Carbon tax and an environmental destruction tax. How dare they. 😂
And the faraway USA keeps spurring the silly Ukraine on. Anyway winter is coming. I trust Putin.
Another epic failure from LyinBiden’s green deal crap.
Biden could let us drill & sell to Europe. My family works in the gas/oil industry. We know exactly what he did. Now he’s ok with people in Europe freezing to death this winter.
Russia slashed or the West sabotaged NS pipelines n sanctioned 🇷🇺?!
No, war is for and by the Democrats. It's what They have always done. For them it's just buisness. Now they attack Americans also when they can't have what they want.
I recall trump saying something about this previously
It’s not 🇷🇺that decided to stop gas flows into Europe; it was the EU that imposed sanctions and said that they won’t buy anymore from 🇷🇺. EU declares economic war to 🇷🇺. And 🇷🇺 is ready to send via stream 2. It’s EU using this narrative to justify their political failures.
Trump warned Europe not to rely on Russia.....the Globalists laughed at him. Hope their laughter keeps them warm this Winter.
Lies the u.s demanded Europe stop taking russian gas then blew up Nordstream while u.s wants to destroy water supply.fracking to export I swear I think associated press have the most racist partisan worst dishonest woke reporters undermining truth and progress
Where are the environmentalists?
AP doing the Russia propaganda water carrying thing again.
Europe is going camping…forever.
That's false. Gas prices are falling because countries hoarded it before and now weather is mild.
This is why US LPG tankers hover around European ports waiting for cold weather. LPG is sold at the time of unloading; the intentional delay is to maximize profit. Looking for philanthropy? Don't waste your time on the US.
Right now Europe gas storage facilities are full to the brim. LNG tankers cannot discharge their cargo and idling around Europe.
Some, but most of us are fine. No winter to be seen yet in most parts of Europe.
Is Germany still laughing?
SIXTEEN MILLION 'followers' and almost zero engagement. elonmusk you've been had!
Huh. WSJ has a story saying there is a glut of natural gas for winter
We all told them it would happen but they ignored the warnings. Enjoy the cold!
LoL 😂😂 climate change hysteria
What is wrong with kerosene heaters? Did they stop making them in the 90’s l grew up with only kerosene heaters and I am American
