    Germany plans to burn more coal as Russia slashes gas supply



    Germany is planning to burn more coal — the most polluting fossil fuel — as Russian cuts to gas exports threaten shortfalls. Russia’s Gazprom had announced that it would slash supplies through the Nord Stream 1 pipeline, apparently due to technical issues. EU officials believe Russia is punishing countries in the region for supporting Ukraine. Many European nations have signalled they will likely burn more coal, as they reduce their reliance on Russian gas. Berlin has managed to cut its reliance on gas from Moscow from 55% to 35% since the start of the war.

      US sanction Russia energy, EU goes along with that "great idea" to punish Russia. Russia now says "yeah I go along with EU and US great idea". Now EU says Russia "punishing" EU for abiding with EU and US sanctions. EU and US shoot themselves on the foot and now blaming Russia. Bunch of hypocrites and comedians, US and EU leaders, they spin so much they even lost track of their spin.

      These EU nations and G7 summit gave lessons to India to reduce usage of Coal for the climate change that's happening and they also told we stopped usage of coal….. and turned to Renewable energy sources…….
      But see what happened ha ha ha ha ha ha…… finally there's a saying that tell…… teachings are for only others to follow and not to them those who teach as they can change and mend or even break the rules which are laid by them….. Shameless…..🤪🤪🤪🤪

      Gazprom had an equipment failure on the German side. A compressor had to be repaired. It was sent to Siemens in Canada by Germany, the only place it could be repaired or replaced. Canada sanctioned Russia so it doesn't want to return or repair the engine. So Siemen's Canada just screwed Germany. What an embarrassment. Pay in Rubles and get your oil and gas.

      Where's Greta Thunberg now?
      Surely she's about to put on her super-hero cape and call a world meeting where she will give her guest's an angry stare before accusing them of being really mean.

      This is what happens when reality confronts fantasy, reality always wins.
