Reuters: Europe's spend on energy crisis nears 800 billion euros
BRUSSELS (Reuters) - European countries' bill to shield households and companies from soaring energy costs has climbed to nearly 800 billion euros, researchers said on Monday, urging countries to be more targeted in their spending to tackle the energy crisis.
European Union countries have now earmarked or allocated 681 billion euros in energy crisis spending, while Britain allocated 103 billion euros and Norway 8.1 billon euros since September 2021, according to the analysis by think-tank Bruegel.
The 792-billion-euro total compares with 706 billion euros in Bruegel's last assessment in November, as countries continue through winter to face the fallout from Russia cutting off most of its gas deliveries to Europe in 2022.

Take out gun, shoot self in foot.
or
use of the circlic firing squad
many of the EU countries have horrible debt even worse than the USA. I guess they must just make the money like the USA does. The EU peasants probably would have brought their countries down if the governments had not hidden/protected the peasants from their green energy theory/disaster. So they will escape another year and fly into Davos next year as still the head MFers in charge. The problems they keep creating will keep coming at them until one day it catches up to them.
What shield???We paying double for petrol double for gas and triple for everything else!! By the end of this year we will be eating each other!
Very little comment here or in the European press on how the USA military's sabotage of the Nord Stream pipelines is the major cause of this huge price increase by energy. Followed by the European/American sanctions against Russia which as one poster said, is like Europe shooting themselves in their foot. How long before that whole rotten house of cards (Europe struggling under their huge debt) comes crashing down?
