I noticed this today, and it's a odd deal.
Belgium has a company (Exmar) that has offered up three barges, which have oil-generated power abilities (450 Mega Watts each) to the Germans. Each being enough to power 100,000 homes in Germany (roughly).
Dirty power? Well....yeah.
Focus talked about this in the AM.
Under normal conditions.....they'd (the Germans) would probably turn this down, but because of the questionable power situation....with the ability to move these around on the river system.....it's not such a crazy thing.
Getting environmentalists upset? Running off oil....yeah. My humble belief is that they will offer some deal to have them on standby, and if things get bad enough....float them to the point where they'd be of use.

Two choices.
One, they can get over it.
Two, Freeze in the dark.
The hardcore environmentalists have been fairly disappointed since the Greens arrived to be part of the new government.
It wouldn't take much for the gov't to admit that prior to this whole mess...their natural gas was coming all from outside of the country, and fracking was a general part of the story. But the idiots really can't understand the full landscape of heat and energy.
On blackout odds and running out of natural gas by late winter? Pretty good odds that Feb-Mar will be a tough period. The sad thing is that fixing the problem in 2023....will marginally occur with the LNG port business. It'll all repeat in the next winter as well.
