Q-and-A

 1.  Did Germany and Qatar reach a LNG (liquid natural gas) deal?

Yes, announced today....2-million tons per year, for 15 years.  

HOWEVER, this deal starts in 2026 (not in 2023).  So the value of this helping for the crisis is minimal.  

2.  Big meeting for the state and federal Transportation Ministers today?

Yes, and the 49-Euro ticket is topic number one.  The gut feeling is that if the federal government of Germany doesn't toss near 2-billion Euro into the pot.....the only way that the 49-Euro ticket (per month) makes sense....is by cutting rural transportation routes.  

Irking the rural population of Germany?  OH YEAH.

3.  Wolves expanding in Germany?

What the National Agency for Nature Conservation says....there are around 160 wolf 'packs' in Germany....on a graphic chart....expanding each year.  Naturally, farmers are reporting more attacks on their livestock.
