  But is it? Europeans are talking about not being able to afford their heat this winter, they're talking about food shortages, people are going to have to make due with less.

    Afford is something else than not doing anything at all. Govt will finance any real shortages. Food crisis did not materialize too despite widestream doomsaying.

      Do you think that energy consumption in Europe this winter will be greater/equal/less than energy consumption last winter?

        Smaller, by 5-10%. Depends on how many nuclear reactors France will manage to reconnect to grid.

  not really. Now there are fertilizer shortages, lower fertilizer usage due to price spikes and shortages. Russia is simply doing almost the best they can, which is flaring it rather than venting it. I was hoping they would plug a lot of wells back in February. But I suppose they didn't have crystal ball and had more priority things to deal with.
