Euronews: Energy crisis in Europe: Which countries have the cheapest and most expensive electricity and gas?
Annual energy inflation in the EU reached a record level following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. The annual energy inflation rate exceeded 40 per cent in June 2022, and then prices began falling gradually.
In February 2023, energy inflation was considerably lower (16.6 per cent) compared to the same period in the previous year (28.7 per cent).
However, many households and businesses still struggle with the cost of energy. European governments have allocated significant support to households and businesses to mitigate the impact of larger energy bills in the midst of overall cost-of-living crises.

WNU Editor: With the exception of Euronews. All the Western news media organizations have buried this story.

I get so f angry when i see Sweden above the norm. We overproduce electricity and we sell it. Still over the norm.
You're slipping WNU. On current trajectory you will be sitting next to Barney Frank waving rainbow flags at Fire Island and endorsing everything else the Democrats have to offer.
One reason why it is cheaper could be that the production facilities are still intact and producing and yet the demand is no longer there, because the women and children fled. You always make a point of how many people fled the Russian blitzkrieg?
Maybe there is a subsidy to keep Ukraine afloat amid a a war with a 'superpower' trying to Nazify the planet?
Talk about shooting the messenger. Very lefty looney thing to do.
This is exactly because the missile strikes target only the switching stations and (with the exception of a single time) no actual power plants have ever been targeted.
Huge generation capacity, little means to transmit it to consumers.
Not like the American way of war. very odd. That is one of the first thing we destroyed.
^ Russian troll failure to communicate
What did he fail to communicate? Never studied shock & awe skoda?
TO COMMUNICATE SKODAWORKS YOU HAVE TO KNOW YOUR AUDIENCE.
If people here are well read and know or remember that the allies used carbon filament to trip out the Iraqi electrical system temporarily toi bring down air defense without permanently harming the electrical system, all you are do g is pissing them off and drawing a target on you back and that of the Kremlin.
Now the carbon filament tactic was novel, forward thinking and shows something about the American military. The Russians would neve have come up with it. They are plenty smart, but their leaders just don't GaF.
The problem I read is the procedure to pilots have when they can't hit their primary target or it is already gone. they move on to secondary targets or targets of opportunity. People do not bring bombs home. It is risky to land with them. I mention this because even you Skodaworks might pick up a book sometime and read a little.
But much like you opposites in DC all you really read is TPM and curry favor like a lickspittle.
The only reason the Russians did not hit energy infrastructure right away, is because they thought they would win quickly and they wanted to capture the industrial and power infrastructure intact. That is all. It was not out of the goodness of their black little hearts.
The Russian did not bomb energy infrastructure for the same reason Hitler did not bomb the Skodaworks on March 14, 1939.
Well
that was nice,
Then the question now is. With the russians stalled, why have they not changed thier methods and currently bombed the power plants?
And BTW I am former military and in war, I see nothing wrong with bombing a power station. You want to blind your enemy, and cutting his power sources is part one of doing so. If you hit them with carbon strings, EMP, a 500 pound bomb or a JDAM, it does not matter. You use what you got.
But here you go
1st gulf war
U.S. Air Force planners sought to cause only temporary damage to Iraq's economic infrastructure by precisely targeting easy-to-replace elements of key facilities rather than destroying such facilities outright.
Yet, these plans were thwarted by standard operating procedures that were deeply ingrained in the military community. Wary of underestimating Iraq, Desert Storm planners inflicted massive damage on the country's economic infrastructure. For example, instead of targeting rapidly replaceable electricity transformer yards and refined oil storage sites, U.S. forces destroyed hard-to-replace generator halls and cracking (distillation) towers. Initially, Tomahawk cruise missiles were used to dispense carbon graphite filaments over power stations, minimizing permanent damage while still causing blackouts. Yet, these sites were later used as bomb dumps for carrier-based aircraft returning to ship, rendering the less-destructive effects of the cruise missile strikes meaningless. Desert Storm also highlighted the unforeseen consequences of disrupting the highly interconnected critical infrastructure of a modern industrialized country,
Iraq never recovered from these attacks, When US forces invaded in 2003 they only had to hit parts of the grid to dismember it. The H1 project was part of it, most of the county was with out power for months afterwards.
yes we read or actually lived it

But the bigger problem skods is you getting off track as Senior blog Misdirection manager.
Look at that chart. Who is really hurting?
How are those Euro economies supposed to compete in a Global market when thier energy costs are so high? Answer, they won't.
This year, the economic screws will continue to tighten . Next year, will be worse, probably a lot worse. The German economy, England and France are having problems now. Just wait.
Why do you think Orban is not getting into this mess, he is no fool.
The losers in this conflict?
Ukrainians
Russians
Europeans
Winners
Inda
China
and anyone else buying cheap Russian oil
And our good friend the
USA.
Making money from increase energy sales (LPG and Oil), weapons sales and decreased competition from Euro economies that cannot compete in pricing due to paying higher energy costs.
They say...follow the money...there you go.
But that was a pretty good stretch of words you had there, skods.
Have good day!
^ Skodaworks committed the B Poster sin
9:01 You said the same thing I said except for you were more detailed and said it better.
