| Shortage Fears Return as Germany Rapidly Burns Through its Gas Reserve |
| 2022-12-20 |
| [Breitbart] Discussion of fears over possible gas shortages has returned to the German media, with the cold European winter seeing the country burn through its saved-up supply far faster than expected. After a period of absence due to an abnormally warm late fall and early winter, the issue of possible gas shortages appears to have well and truly returned to the German media sphere, with the country reportedly consuming far more of its gas reserves than expected as a result of a cold snap that has hit northern Europe. While experts have long feared the possibility of widespread energy shortages in Germany brought about by the nation’s loss of its Russian gas imports, many officials have maintained that — so long as the country is able to cut its consumption by 20 per cent — it should be able to escape this winter. |

| #4 Price per unit has been my question. I'd imagine cutting 5% consumption compared to last year would be epic. Suppose 20% is attainable if it is unaffordable. |

| #2 Something I was wondering the other day with all the talk of German gas reserves being full: Is this reserve a stockpile to get through the winter OR is the reserve simply a buffer to smooth out the big winter demand pulse and presumes a constant flow of new gas? |
