That's not right, this is isn't even wrong. German policy has always been that this pipeline is a stranded assert once russia shuts it down. Keeping this as a lever and credible threat is vastly important for maintaining a somewha

You can see how steep the curves are now (mostly without russian supply), and how steep the typically are, to get some general idea. I don't think you can get more than some gut feeling anyway, as I don't think you can model such

As somebody who lives there and knows what's it like to be in a unheated apartment: Rest assured, yes it is. And the fearmongering serves the interests of some people, of course.

My heater was broken one winter, so I had a completely unheated apartment for quite a while in germany. It's not cosy, but far, far from freezing to death. Countries further north do not use gas for heating, countries further south do

Russia has shut down pretty much all of their supplies, and here we are, filling the storage for the winter. Storage levels are average. That's probably about as close as you can get to having an idea. You might also have a look at the

That would be a very useless data, as gas consumption depends on the price. And the price is at a historic high, so we simply don't know what that means. German Grid regulator BNetzA created forecasts based on historic consumption and

And English also features compound nouns, for example "compound noun". Usually (but not always) a space is within the word, so it's not that obvious. This language feature is a little less popular in english, but works very s

No it doesn't. And you are moving goalposts. But still, it's a obvious and transparent lie. It wastes electricity that could have been put to good use, like power2(gas|ammonia|syngas|heat|cooling) or just normal, dispatchable cons

Bitcoin supply does grow until 2140. It will inflate only if the backing economy and users does not grow until then. If this growth outpaces the supply of bitcoins, it deflates. And just every economist (and every piece of empirical data we

War is a interaction between nations as a hole. Just like Russia as a uniform entity attacks and supplies this war (via taxes, e.g.), Ukraine as a whole is the victim of the attack. It is the responsibility of the average Russian joe to en

This is not Russophobic. This is war-crime-critical. Oh and when attracted you can surrender or fight. If you fight you might loose, but if you don't, you lost. Hate is not only justified, it does absolutely help.
