Energy prices in Europe going nuts

Short version, energy prices are going up by 3-10x overnight (as an example, one pub was previously getting 15p/kWh, now they're being quoted 97.05). Many places shutting down. The thread linked has many examples.

Coming soon to our shores if the left gets their way!

The greenies don't care. They want to save humanity by controlling energy, even if it kills every single person in the process.

Fish & Chips at the Marriott near Buckingham Palace was $45 in February, 2020. UK is twice the size of Colorado with way over 60 million people. The whole country has been fueled by Mid East & Russian oil money. It has gotten way more expensive than it was in the 1960's through 1980's. Taxes are unbelievable. Almost 20% live below the poverty line. Guns are basically banned. When I was a teen, I had a shotgun. My uncle had a house that was built in 1060. It used to be way laid back and conservative. Things are tense there now and the police I saw in London were carrying MP5's. I still love it there.

Leftist don't care either. They want to control humanity.

A lot of crossover between the two groups.

Scary stuff

Too bad the U.S. is no longer in the business of oil production the way we were 3 yrs ago. We were a gross exporter and we could make a pretty penny by undercutting the Saudi's and Russians right now.

I was in NYC during Sandy, almost a week without power and I learned a few things.
Stores open, even with dim lights and not-stocked shelves, they open. Gas stations become hell on earth.

I saw one little coffee cafe that had a bill of around $10k for energy for just 73 days of service. Many pubs are closing their doors. I’ve seen estimates that 80% of the pubs and restaurants could close. The pubs in London aren’t always the greatest for food but once you get out into the smaller communities I’ve had some great meals. I wonder if the public in Europe will continue to believe it is all Putin’s fault or if many will realize it’s been all the disastrous green energy policies their governments have pushed.

We could be shipping oil overseas, but an idiot cancelled the plan. I wanted to retire to a nice cottage in the English countryside. Brandon is a nice village. I need mild weather and low pollen count due to service-connected disability. I am firmly convinced Five Eyes is blind!
