YES! Jesus christ it shows how shortsighted parlementary democracies are. And many individuals: Becoming semi-powerindependent has been possible and cheaper for a long time with Solar Panels. It doesn't heat your house though. But really, who needs to heat so much anyway? Just heat one room, wear a jumper, and visit your friends or the pub instead.

But no, instead of calling for behavioral change, what do the politicians say now? Subsidize!

Thank god I live in Switzerland. The most democratic country in the world, and Europe's least dependent on Russian Gas.



”who needs to heat so much anyway?”

When outside temperature is -30 C pretty much anyone who does not want to freeze to death…


Almost half of the Swiss gas imports are from Russia, and let's add to that a part of the EU imports - which probably more than half originate from Russia as well. But making extraordinary claims was always at the heart of Swissness, right?

I think kaon123 was being sarcastic.


Generally if you don't heat your whole house, your pipes will freeze.
