1. What came out of the EU talks on natural gas usage?
Well...they passed the draft yesterday, which N-TV chatted upon this AM. The agreement basically says every country in the EU will start a goal of cutting 15-percent of their usage (compared to last year).
How they reach this? I think for public buildings...orders will occur where the temperature will be dropped to 19 C. Probably the same mandate for homes and apartments.
They suggest that this will cut the demand upon pricing....lesser consumption....lesser cost. They would all share in the 'pain'.
2. Chatter on keeping the 3 remaining nuclear plants online?
The most realistic chatter is that several key individuals in the government will push to have the three remaining plants active until the end of 2024 (not December of 2022).
And yes, they'd have to order more rods....taking six months for arrival. This decision needs to be made by the end of August....to make this whole gimmick work.
3. Major forest fires going on in Brandenburg?
There's exceptionally dry conditions across all of central Germany at present. At least 90 seconds of the Monday night prime news on ARD covered the topic. Even locally here in Wiesbaden....lot of rules on outdoor bar-b-q situations.
