1. The director of the Public German Utilities Association said in an interview via WELT...he doesn't really expect natural gas or electrical costs...to go down. It's a permanent situation in his mind, which will anger a lot of working-class Germans.
2. Bio-fuel (the E-10 gas situation) on the list to disappear? This is being rumored presently by the Environmental Ministry.
Presently, E-10 fuel is about 3 cents cheaper than regular unleaded, and I would suggest the bulk of car-owners buy it instead of regular unleaded.
Chief logic to end it? You were taking an agricultural product and for pricing on the market.....it makes sense to limit agricultural products strictly for the food consumer.
3. I sat and watched ARD (public TV) news last night. Big VIP political showing up in Borkstedt at the station....over the knife attack onboard the train with stateless-Palestinian (rather routine now....everyone refers to anyone that was Palestinian before.....as 'stateless' now).
The Interior Minister? She gave several minutes of chat, and basically asked a blunt question....how was this guy still walking free, with several issues in the open? This last crime....convicted upon....he attacked two men with a knife, and just spent 11 months in prison....then released.
The cops also noted, back in 2016....the same guy assaulted someone, and cut their face with a knife, and all he got was a one-year suspended sentence.
My suspicion is that this will be drawn out as a public concern for several weeks, and the SPD-coalition will have do 'something' to appease the public.
4. Polling in the Berlin-city election indicates that the SPD candidate (for mayor)...might not win. The CDU Party candidate (Wegner) is slightly ahead.
Election set for the 12th of Feb.
5. National gas reserves in Germany presently at 83-percent (it's been a harsh January). More than enough presently to survive the winter without measures applied.
