President of the European Commission, has commented on the suspension of gas supplies to Austria by Russia’s energy giant Gazprom.

Von der Leyen reported that despite Russia’s blackmail, Europe is prepared for winter and has gas reserves.

Wtf?

EU: We need to cut off Russia from the world! Stop buying from Russia, stop importing from Russia! Ban all Russians and everything Russian from the world!!! AAAAAAA!

Russia: OK, then we’ll stop sending you gas.

EU: Stop weaponising energy and blackmailing us you monsters!

    I switched electricity providers in May 2024 to get a better price. Before that I had a contract signed in late 2019 for which I paid about €53 per month for 171kWh (two person household). Since May our consumption has gone up a bit (three person household, and no significant time away) to 186kWh per month which costs about €76 per month. Heating the apartment and hot water are paid separately so this doesn’t include the ~20% increase in heating costs.

    Tldr: my electricity consumption went up by 9% and my bill went up by 43%, and that’s taking advantage of switching electricity providers to get one of the best prices available to consumers.
