Have you bought your wood stove and turnips yet Busek?
Nothing new, my sister and family lived in Germany for many years, and they returned about 10 years back.
She said if you were visiting, you ask permission to turn on the lights!
They took vacations at the coldest time of the year to turn off the heat at home and save...
But the planet!!!!
Theory collides with reality...
Didn’t the Krauts just chop down several hundred acres of the Black Forest to make way for a solar/wind farm?
At this rate by winter they’ll have a full blown wood and stove shortage when needed the most.
Wood is solar energy.

Didn’t they outlaw wood burning stoves in Ca?
Dear Germany, you have forests all around you. You have fireplaces that you probably boarded up. Call the chimney sweeps to make sure the are safe before winter arrives.
This is FAKE NEWS!!
Everyone knows that we are on the verge of spontaneous combustion on a planetary scale caused by the burning of fossil fuels. The very idea that they would need “heat” is ridiculous in the face of man made global warming, which is about to make the planet explode, at least according to the Governments Worldwide and all the schools,news,entertainment industry,...

I’m not sure if it’s another Eco- bs law in all of Germany or just in specific states (Bundesländer).
A friend of mine built a house and intended to heat it with a wood stove—a German-style stove. It wasn’t anything at all like what I think of when I think ‘wood stove’. It was tall and covered in thick ceramic tile. It was a pretty thing. The idea was the tile would radiate the heat into the room. The thing did a fine job of keeping the large house warm.
You can see them in movies set in central Europe, they look like an odd bit of furniture tucked into a corner.
Gen. Yevgraf Zhivago: I told myself it was beneath my dignity to arrest a man for pilfering firewood. But nothing ordered by the party is beneath the dignity of any man, and the party was right: One man desperate for a bit of fuel is pathetic. Five million people desperate for fuel will destroy a city. That was the first time I ever saw my brother. But I knew him. And I knew that I would disobey the party. Perhaps it was the tie of blood between us, but I doubt it. We were only half tied anyway, and brothers will betray a brother. Indeed, as a policeman, I would say, get hold of a man's brother and you're halfway home. Nor was it admiration for a better man than me. I did admire him, but I didn't think he was a better man. Besides, I've executed better men than me with a small pistol. I told them who I was: The old man was hostile, the girl cautious, my brother... seemed very pleased. I think the girl was only one who guessed at their position.
