Fearing Russia might cut off natural gas supplies, the head of Germany's regulatory agency for energy called on residents Saturday to save energy and to prepare for winter, when use increases.

Federal Network Agency President Klaus Mueller urged house and apartment owners to have their gas boilers and radiators checked and adjusted to maximize their efficiency.

The appeal came after Russia reduced gas flows to Germany, Italy, Austria, the Czech Republic and Slovakia earlier this month, as European Union countries scramble to refill storage facilities with the fuel used to generate electricity, power industry and heat homes in the winter. German leaders have rejected that explanation and called the reductions a political move in reaction to the European Union's sanctions against Russia after it invaded Ukraine.

If the gas flow from Russia is "to be lowered for a longer period of time, we will have to talk more seriously about savings," he said.

Canadian oil and gas stonks 📈. Oil to $300+ a barrel...lfg!

Hey CTV are you going to blame this on Trudeau? When prices go up more are you gonna join another convoy from the oil rich west?

Gas shortage is a victory for climate alarmists. Strange times

Well done 👍

Canada has the resources to help but we choose not to. A shortage of fuel actually helps Europe achieve their climate goals. Running out of fuel is a win from Trudeau's perspective. It will encourage alternatives that aren't really an option at the moment

Remember when Trump hurt their feelings telling them to stop being dependent upon Russian oil & gas? 🤣 TrumpWasRight

Possible? Are they expecting to win the war against Russia 'soon'? That is not part of reality.
