The Germany city of Hanover has become the first big city in Europe to ban hot water and central heating in public buildings ...
The drastic step comes as Germans have been told to expect sky high electricity bills and sweeping gas rationing measures that will affect their day-to-day lives.
In a sign of things to come, Hanover, the capital of Lower Saxony in the north west of the country, will cut off the hot water in public buildings, swimming pools, sports halls and gyms.
Other desperate gas-saving measures include switching off public fountains and blacking out night-time lights on major buildings such as the town hall and museums.
...
There will also be a ban on portable air conditioners, heaters and radiators among the general populace

Germany on the brink: EU's economic powerhouse is heading for recession and energy rationing – with bills tripling – after Merkel ignored warnings Putin could cripple Europe by choking gas supplies
...
Despite repeated warnings about the risks of this reliance successive German governments have only deepened it
...
Germany is not alone in relying on Russian natural gas to run its economy, with some 40 per cent of EU member state's total gas consumption coming from its eastern neighbour.
But years of deliberate policy-making has made Germany uniquely vulnerable to Russian threats to cut gas flows.

“What about a dark green in a tasteful silk-rayon tropical blend, or a classic white linen?”
Prior to (*spit*) Carter, that would have been your last day. You probably wouldn’t even make it to your desk. They were very serious about they dress code. It went from overly oppressive formal to bare, flabby thighs.
Hey, this is a great idea: find the country which has the largest coal reserves and import coal. Now who could that possibly be? Oh that’s right. America!
Pay up Germany.

I worked at EDS, when Perot was still there, you had to eat lunch at the cafeteria with your suit on.
AOL commie news reports Biden saying the Manchin cave is a ‘godsend” for “families.” Some of the dictator’s favorite words.

What might be surprising is that many of them are so conditioned into believing every claim about “climate change” they probably shrug and just consider it “necessary” - and just take it without question.
I know Germans like this.
“Starting with the (*spit*) Carter presidency, every employer I worked for turned off their water heaters. None of them had turned them back on by the time I was knocked out of employment by (*spit*) Obama. Also, in the seventies, they upped the thermostat. In Florida, this meant that for the first time these employers no longer required suits. Seriously, prior to (*spit*) Carter a three-piece suit was required. There were stories about professional workers being sent home for either not wearing one, or for wearing one that wasn’t conservative enough. Honeywell, for example, required either gray or black. Brown would get you sent home.”
I don’t remember any of that. Our home office was comfortable and we had hot water. Brown was ok, even in just a sports jacket.
Come on, man. The solution is so easy. The Rinnai Tankless Water Heater!!!
Just turn up the wind turbines.
Oh, wait,...
Or shave our legs.
“I don’t remember any of that. Our home office was comfortable and we had hot water. Brown was ok, even in just a sports jacket.”
This was prior to the fifty-five mile speed limit, which was just one of the energy saving ideas. The Honeywell I was at was the space section dealing with NASA and the other section, which I don’t recall the name of, dealt with the Strategic Air Command. I wonder if that might be the difference? In general, you dress like your customer. Ours wore uniforms so we also had a “uniform.”
You are misdating the 55 MPH speed limit, a mistake that I used to make, so I have to look it up occasionally.
