Not getting Political........or we will be in Trouble.....

Spain is being very quiet about the electricity.......not a lot being said.......
And...we don't have mains gas in our town....it is all bottled gas that comes from Algeria...I Think......
Local people think we'll be okay.....but for me...if the big European countries are going to run out of gas...they go for the bottled option...so they will go up....unavoidable....IMO.

I Look to the UK News.....coz I Think we'll all end up in the same melee......and it is very unsettlling.....

We are looking at what savings we can move about to send some money to my Mother to make sure she can stay warm in the winter...and still eat..


The UK government have a Warning on that these rises and shortages are Coming...Sept/October.....people will take that for a while....but if it goes on for a long time...I can see people taking to the streets........

On businesses there are no energy price caps....an example on the news was a small Cafe who were paying £200 per month for their electrics...and the New figure is £900 per month.

Businesses that have been closed down because of Covid and are just trying to get going again will be wiped out......I Think it is almost Inevitible....

But..hey...they might pull something out of the hat........I just can't See What.......

I heard the price of Natural Gas yesterday and shed a little tear that I don't still have an active gas well anymore! It opened up at $11.69 million btu.
Just heard that 20Million households have energy bills 60 days past due in the US.

Sorry, wasn't going political with that. Was just wondering if that was the case or as you sort of said "media armageddon". Harder and harder to know what is actually the truth!

Thanks! Yup! It is a damn shame what the VA is doing now. It's so much like when Clinton was in office, it's pathetic.
During the Clinton term, The VA sent me a letter saying 'We feel your condition has improved and have reduced your disability rating." That was without seeing me for a re-evaluation. I had to hire an attorney! Same timeframe, they began taking back the disability compensation the Navy paid me at separation. I got a letter in the mail a few years later, stating that the recovering the disability compensation was deemed illegal in a court decree, but there was no recourse for me to recover it.
Whatever anyone's opinion of Trump, he sure as hell changed all that pure bullshit with the VA. Every Vet I know personally, is having problems now and the Doc said the same thing with the 100 or so Vets under his care.
It's pathetic as hell!

@WildBill ........you've got your political head on again.......please keep away from naming names...you've mentioned him twice now and people are going to start Answering back....


And I'm Not getting into another US political debate.... ....

I tried to get some of that and had to 'settle' for Mangos N Chem.

Only place I know at the moment is MVB, but it's part of a bundle.

You've never seen anything 'til you see a horse pee.....I Think they must be part Camel.....

In the UK we have this saying....Oi.....is that You pissing like a store horse.....?...shut the flaming toilet door......

HA! Where I lived in Charleston, there a bunch of horse carriage tours. Those horses can can flood a small street! They have a truck with water and some other chemical that comes around and hoses the streets and/or shovels up the crap. The tour guides throw these little flag things that are attached to half a rubber ball to flag the spots. Factor in 100*(F) and 95% humidity and the combo is not good for your proboscis!

Been watching some of the reports / forecasts for the upcoming winter over there....not looking to be good at all. Towns in Germany are already stocking up on wood and doing conversions on their generation plants.

In the US, utilities stock on propane and during peak usage times in the winter when consumption exceeds pipeline capacity, they substitute the methane for propane at a 40:1 ratio.

With that being said, I think @Mossy’s concern about propane becoming scarce, I’d stock up now. Right now, I guarantee that all available methane coming out of the pipelines is injected directly in storage and they’re probably filling their peaking tanks at the distribution centers in anticipation of methane shortages next winter.

Sorry, I'll go back and use timeframes.
This issue is not really debatable, at least not logically. The only people that have first-hand experience. or knowledge about the topic are Vets and their close family.

Thanks for the Reps @Dale's Proper Bud, @Frank the Dank!

There's no shortage of methane in my house!
