Germany starts rationing hot water and turning down the heating in case Russia cuts off its natural gas supplies

Some landlords in Germany are rationing hot water and will turn down the heating as Europe's largest economy battles soaring energy costs due to reduced supplies of Russian natural gas.

German real estate company, Vonovia, said it would lower tenants' heating during the night to cut costs.

In a statement sent to Insider, the company said the move was designed to "save as much gas as possible," adding that reducing temperatures between 11pm and 6am would reduce heating costs by about 8%.

Some tenants in Dippoldiswalde, Saxony, will only be able to take a hot shower between 4am and 8am, 11am and 1pm and 5pm to 9pm after a housing association said it would cut back on hot water to save for the winter, the Financial Times reported.

German energy bills have shot up since Russia slowed supplies in the wake of sanctions imposed following Vladimir Putin's invasion of Ukraine.

DJT tried to warn all of them at one of the ‘global’ meetings and all the euro trash elites laughed at him and openly mocked him. Oh well...too bad, how sad

For the past few years the media stories were emphasizing that Germany was shutting down coal fired power plants, shutting down nuclear plants and transitioning to wind and solar power. In fact the stories gave the impression that Germany had pretty much already shifted over to wind and solar. The reporters were giddy with joy at the switchover to ‘green’ power. What Germany actually did was transition to Russian natural gas.

One slight positve to the Ukraine war is that the constant blather about Germany switching to wind and solar power has almost totally ceased. I don’t recall a single story about the success of wind and solar in relation to Germany in the past few months.

This is why socialists want everyone to be crammed into massive housing units.

They also want the increased crime, increased stress, and more control over what you can and can’tdo where you live. Also to lock you all down as they turn masive complexes into de facto prisons.

German public opinion is likely to turn strongly against Russia this Winter.
