What Eastern Europe? Romania (pretty balanced and not reliant on gas) and Poland (mostly coal, locally mined) are self sufficient. Baltics maybe?

- tomwojcik 4y agoRe Poland locally mined - i dont know wtf went wrong but we went from having huge reserves to buying from India within a year... A lot of homes rely on coal to be available by the time the winter comes and apparently they are left with nothing. People stand in line for a few days (literally, husband/wife/kid rotation in the queue) just to get the ticket for the coal. The ticket guarantees you to get the coal once the previous orders are filled. My friends waited in such queue a few weeks ago. Eta for coal delivery for a private household if you went through all this hussle: April.
- rightbyte 4y agoWhen the Covid hoarding panic set in someone bought all yeast in my local super market. Couldn't get any for weeks becouse people started hoarding when it hit the shelves. I guess some of your neighbours have years worth of coal ... and toilet paper, of course.

Russians could disconnect us any time and make our power grid unstable until we sync up with rest of the Europe. https://news.err.ee/1608726511/estonia-grid-connected-to-europe-in-12-hours-in-event-of-russia-blackout https://news.err.ee/1608726511/estonia-grid-connected-to-eur...
