A friend of mine in Belgium said their energy expensives have increases from $300 a month to $1000 a month just in the last 8 months.


Yep, that’s the country I’m in too. We’re energy dependent, so it’s to be expected. In a way, it will expedite improvements in efficiency where possible. Some won’t be able to afford that, which is the more concerning part. But all in all, we know most of the EU is under the same pressure and there’s things in motion to be helpful about.

Of course then you look at our nuclear neighbor and it’s hard to forgive the rhetoric that made us energy dependent in the first place.


Your nuclear neighbor that has a ton of their nuclear plants offline because of excessive heat preventing adequate cooling?


And where energy inflation is sitting around 20% instead of 80%… Gas went up 600% for me, by the way. I know their reactors are offline, but come winter, they’ll be reliable again.
