Very old advice on systems management-
when following a specific action an adverse outcome arises, your first action should be to stop and reverse what you did to cause it.

in other words- if banging your head against a wall causes pain, stop banging you head.

In all the policy measures quoted,
- 'works in theory but not in practice' - no, it does not work even in theory.
- nothing suggested re stopping/reversing the phony climate /environment measures.

Everything suggested has a nice techno/economic/sciency flavor. Government by innocuous sounding buzz words, blame Russia, no smidgen of guilt for their own bad policies.

On a more serious note....their attempts to price cap are cute. It doesn’t matter if there’s nothing to buy.

(perhaps Europe can now print nat gas and electricity in addition to monetizing all deficits while injecting trillions in the process)...

That line made Orange Juice come out my nose. It burns and stingssssssssss.

If that happens, it will be a page taken from Atlas Shrugged except there is no Ragnar Danneskjold to balance the books.

Looks like Europeans are going to need wood burning stoves more than you, but with Biden one can never tell. Biden might try to bailout Europe with US energy, leaving US citizens a chance to share another crisis, prove what a great altruist Biden is.

Ok, I live in the USA (NY), but am glad I have wood burning fire places and a stove on the premises.
