Germans Panic-Buy Electric Heaters As Authorities Warn Of Winter Gas Shortage

Fallacy of composition. How many electric heaters can the grid handle before it goes down? 30 minutes later, the cell towers go down.

Europe has nearly half a million telecom towers and most of them have battery backups that last around 30 minutes to run the mobile antennas.

Exclusive: Europe braces for mobile network blackouts

All these millennia later, and Fire still kills many people.

Pine and birch are low in BTUs.

And the sap clogs up the chimney and becomes a fire hazard. These guys know that. It is part of the joke.

Idiot, every circuit is designed to carry max load…

Oi, a chimney fire is a bonus!

Morons, they only use gas to run peakers during the day during Air Conditioning months..,

As long as they keep running their coal and nuclear generation plants they can easily use room sized electric heaters and put on a sweater..,

Cold showers aren’t the end of the world either iirc Mike actually uses them..,

You climate nutters are going to have to suck more Russian dick some other way …

You people are treating this Nordstream2 German petrochemical deal situation just like all the monetarists are treating these rate hikes every day predicting doom and gloom…,

Probably half of Europe doesn’t even need to heat in winter..,

France average winter temps, 32 to 46 Freedom degrees…. Iberian peninsula 10-13 commie degrees.., UK 0 to 7 commie.,

Your parents would have been well-advised to have given you a smack upside the head once in a while as you were growing up to stop you from using foul language. Having said that...

Average electric heater: 1,500 Watts

Number of German households: 41 million

Total electric heater power usage: 41 million * 1,500 Watts = 62 GW

Current German grid capacity: roughly 220 GW

That's just one heater. When our natural gas heating went down, we had to use 4 space heaters in the basement and even then, the temperature kept dropping. Got down to about 12 degrees Celsius before we had the furnace fixed.

It's not just about staying warm. You have to get the heat to the walls to stop the water pipes from freezing.

Incidentally, we just did a sprinkler blowout. That's when a company comes out and blows the water out of the sprinkler system to stop the pipes from cracking as the water freezes. The city buries the water pipes below the frost line, but anything above that freezes.

...average frost depth is seven feet, or about 2 meters

You’re carrying water for petrochemical firms caught up in the Nordstream 2 deal who were trying to corner the gas market..,

They have plenty of energy generating alternatives..,

I’m holding you guys to this thing if they get thru winter with few problems I’m going to rub you guys face in it every day.,,

Scientists warn of cold winter in Europe

There will also be less wind and rainfall – a setback for alternative power sources – a weather tracker says

European countries may be about to face a colder than usual winter, the head of the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) predicted on Sunday.


This winter will be hard but next one will be even worse – EU

By North American standards, western Europe doesn't experience winter.
