Europe, once reliant on Russian gas, is hurrying to find alternate energy sources, and is reportedly considering returning to burning coal to deal with reduced gas, Reuters reported. The EU faces a severe energy shortage this winter if supply levels are not set back to normal. The crisis, and consumer anger over record high gas prices, has caused European nations to consider the unthinkable: returning to the burning of coal.

Both Italy and Germany have been told by Russian energy supplier Gazprom that they will be sent a much lower output of gas than requested, with Germany looking seriously at restarting coal plants it had been adamant about phasing out in the name of fighting climate change. “That is painful, but it is a sheer necessity in this situation to reduce gas consumption,” German Economy Minister Robert Habeck said.

You hear that noise in the background? That is the sound of the screaming, weaping, and gnashing of teeth of the climate alarmists to hear that Europe is going to return to coal and other traditional forms of reliable energy. I suspect many other countries will do the same. Although, Israel is working hard to get their gas to the EU.

They should get free tickets to Moscow. No doubt the communist committees will find countless ways to keep them warm.
