ᐅ Gas Prices – Where Is Gas Still Affordable?

Should you set the highest possible temperature on smart thermostats?

You can’t just do that on its own. First, a proper hydraulic balancing with appropriate flow rates in each heating circuit and so on is necessary.

Strangely, it doesn’t make an ecological difference whether we import clean and cheap gas through a pipeline from Russia or transport it by large ocean tankers from America. Whether hundreds of cruise ships and thousands of holiday flights harm the climate more than individual car traffic. Or whether coal ships bring coal from Australia instead of trains from Russia.

If the entire business model of the West is based on cheap products from Asia and the transport effort is higher than anything else. Do apples from New Zealand really have to be in the supermarket at the beginning of September while they rot on the trees here?

Cheap, the gas from Russia may be, but clean it definitely is not. One should not believe that Russia pays attention to environmental protection in its Siberian gas fields. The stuff is extracted as cheaply as possible, and no one cares whether anything grows back there afterward. This also applies to oil... as early as 2012, estimates said that 17–20 million tons of oil were lost in Russia due to pipeline leaks. That was 4% of the entire Russian production at the time... as I said... cheap? Yes. Clean? Definitely not.

The transport and CO2 emissions of large container ships are much lower per ton than most people think. The climate footprint of German apples that are stored in special climate chambers until May of the following year to keep them fresh is often even worse than that of apples shipped to us from New Zealand in May.

Whether there really are many overseas apples on the shelves in September, I would have to check...

PS:
Russia also holds the record for the most radioactive place on Earth. Lake Karachay near Chelyabinsk was filled with highly radioactive waste until a concrete cover had to be poured over it. Staying at the shore exposes unprotected people to radiation levels of up to 6 Gray/hour, which is fatal after an hour. Go Russia?

Hello friend

Ms. Göring-Eckard states the Greens’ goal:
“The restrictions are just the beginning.”
Okay, she knows what she’s talking about.
In 1984, she started studying theology but dropped out in 1988 because it seemed too stressful. After that, she worked as a kitchen assistant. Now she says there’s not much difference between stacking 85 cups in a dishwasher and leading a population of 85 million people onto the right path.
Now, the world population of about 8,500,000,000 people (8.5 billion) is being guided on course by Germany, with its 85,000,000 people (85 million). An unskilled assistant can manage that. Together with a trampoline gymnast and a children’s book author, it’s no problem.
Start practicing clapping and squats, just in case the house gets a bit chilly this winter.

Did anyone here ask you to comment on politicians’ backgrounds? The 85 cups are probably the ones missing from your cupboard...
Normally I would say “Don’t feed the troll,” but that would mean letting your populist nonsense remain unchallenged online.
Therefore, forum members, especially @i_b_n_a_n, deserve thanks for continually putting your posts into their proper perspective.

@i_b_n_a_n, thanks for always putting your posts in the right light again.

Hello

Wasn’t it true that Ms. Göring Eckard worked as a kitchen assistant after dropping out of her theology studies? I couldn’t find anything else in her resume.
Are you seriously suggesting that people like that should govern our country? A kitchen assistant?!
And from you comes: “Don’t feed the troll” and “populist nonsense.”
And then applause when these insights get deleted.
People, my cleaning lady no longer knows how she’s going to pay her utility bills, and your leadership talks about this just being the beginning.
Haven’t we been here before, with a raised right hand and a cheering, deafening “Yes, sir”?

Imagine, I even delivered newspapers when I was in school 😱
And I know someone—don’t tell anyone—who worked part-time as an ice cream seller.
