Gas shutoffs have been happening because of European sanctions on their equipment, not because they actually want to shut it off, so whether they're "bluffing" or not is irrelevant. Many turbines are now out of action and Siemens either won't return them (UK sanctions) or returned one but refused to give any assurances they wouldn't shut it down remotely (!). Rationing gas like this is foolish in all cases. That's what markets are for. They have no way to enforce this and it can only cause immense social strife for near zero payback. You'd think they'd have learned from the attempt to break up families at Christmas to punish the unvaccinated, but no. The current Federal Council really is trash.
