European Union will be able to meet the targets for filling gas storage facilities only if two-thirds of the Russian gas only if industrial enterprises are disconnected from blue fuel in the spring and summer. This information was shared by the German magazine Der Spiegel.
According to the model of the Jülich Research Center, such a scenario can only be realized if a “tough step” is implemented: the EU will need to limit gas supplies to industry in the spring and summer. Based on the statements of the publication, experts agreed that with a decrease in the transit of blue fuel from Russia it is not possible to fill the storage facilities by two thirds with volumes that will be sufficient for the passage of the winter period.
According to scientists, under the condition of compressing supplies from the Russian Federation to fill storage Europe by 63 percent by August 1, all steel, chemical or cement plants in the European Union must be disconnected from gas from now until the end of July, and gas-fired power plants will have to suspend work for almost all of July.

I am more concerned by the estimated 100,000,000 people who are predicted to face potential starvation in the "south" due to the sanctions, closing of the straights, and futile continuation of the war.
As a fellow Canadian, Peter Pan, I also greatly fear the fallout for Canada -- more fracking, more tar sands exploitation, and probably more Dutch Disease/resource trap, very likely to damage manufacturing, and to recreate disastrous regional imbalances that prevailed prior to 2016. And, then, there is the fear of even more US bullying and expanded attempts to seize even greater control of Canadian natural assets (Russia's war against the Kiev régime demonstrates that, while Russia very far from Obama'S description of it as a "gas station masquerading as a country", parts of Canada's economy risks being hollowed out). At least Trump's renegotiation of the trade agreement -- CUSMA -- is eliminating the ISDS (formerly in Chapter 11 under NAFTA’s investment provisions) between Canada and the U.S. and will significantly scale it back between the U.S. and Mexico .
One angle is this is solving the europe problem. American rulers have always had the European thorn in their side when trying to explain why average americans are supposed to have a shitty life and do nothing but service their corporate masters only to die with a curable illness, when the more literate and aware amercians could point to europe as a place with strong social benefits and a higher quality of life despite being dramatically poorer than the US. With the fall of the ussr, and no other system than the American imposed one being possible (not that the soviet system was good, just that it existed as a challenge), the US is bringing europe to heel. The europeans no longer need to be bribed, because TINA. They're being asked to sacrifice everything they built over the last 70+ years, just to service Americans dreams of global domination.
I'm generally about as cynical as they come, as everyone trying to get one over on someone else is just how the world works, but I never expected such a spectacle, such psychosis.
Marian, I expect the good-for-nothing Canadian establishment to take the path of least resistance. Canada has grown wealthy relative to the US, and they assume the good times will continue. They will cut deals with anyone, from militias in the Congo to carpetbaggers south of the border. The well-being of Canadians is the least of their priorities.
That being said, let us be grateful we're not in Europe.
