- vladvasiliu 4y ago"Four months" means the winter, right? So, it must have helped with "lowering winter consumption". Fair point about moving to the US, though. --- Edit regarding the US specifically (unfortunately, French only): Here's Safran suspending a factory project near Lyon and increasing production in the US and Malaysia: https://www.lesechos.fr/industrie-services/air-defense/safran-met-sur-pause-son-projet-dusine-a-lyon-a-cause-du-cout-de-lenergie-1873981 https://www.lesechos.fr/industrie-services/air-defense/safra... Also, BASF announcing a "cost-cutting" plan in Europe and increasing production in the US: https://www.europe1.fr/economie/prix-de-lenergie-delocalisations-comment-les-etats-unis-menacent-lindustrie-europeenne-4151114 https://www.europe1.fr/economie/prix-de-lenergie-delocalisat...

- vladvasiliu 4y agoThat's correct, but the TFA is about how Europe cut energy consumption this winter. I think the reason is twofold: 1. Industries can probably not afford to cut production immediately 2. At least in France, there were worries about gas availability for the winter. The government tried to have industries lower their consumption to not run out of the reserves during the winter.
