Jokes apart, they're bad news, but I also like the fact that we've finally seen there're no unlimited sources and how dependant we are.

I disagree. The energy shortage in Europe is mostly self inflicted by switching off coal & nuclear power plants and (in case of the Netherlands: stop pumping gas from the ground). These are measures which can all be reversed if a big shortage is to be expected.

Coal is being imported again to Spain just in case. Depending just on gas isn’t a great idea, especially is there is no gas available in your country

DavidAlfa:
It's all caused by bad planification, you can't simply turn off gas and coal burning generation plants without a strong and available alternative.
Else than France, which has a ton of hydraulic and nuclear power, the rest mostly burned gas and coal.
Very nice on paper, but actually causing almost apocalyptic results. Shame on you politicians!

That’s the problem of expecting politicians to do the job of an engineer, they end up trying to solve things by adding as many markets as possible hahaha

   "Uh...NO", as one former professor used to say:
   A real shortage happens 'non-verbal' and without permission, or argument, so that's how some of those 'fresh faced' fools will have reality delivered to them.
Problem is, us folks with cautious respect for natural forces and timing, get DRAGGED DOWN in the whole mess.
   Those prepared can, at least, visualize to when things get returned to normal, and then pitch in to help that happen. While glancing sideways at the losers that think disaster gonna continue forever.
