I'm in the UK - we depend significantly on natural gas for our electricity and heating although we have a more diversified supply from our own gas fields and Norway but we also import some LNG. We've seen sky rocketing energy prices. Someone I work with is seeing his dual fuel monthly bill go from £80 to at least £265. Fuel prices here have averaged around £1.20 a litre for petrol and £1.30 for diesel are now around £1.60 for petrol and £1.75 for diesel. I simply don't know what is going to happen. An awful lot of working people simply can't afford their energy bills anymore and we are more insulated from this than the continent is.
Energy is traded on a global market. The fallout from this will be the death of the western economies. It cannot be sustained.
Good fuck Germany.
