The author argued that the energy crisis was caused by scarcity and said EU-led demand aggregation would not increase gas supplies or the number of LNG carriers.

Energy Commissioner Jørgensen warned capitals that the EU is not facing an immediate gas-security crisis, but it is facing a price-and-supply squeeze that could become more difficult as winter approaches, according to a letter seen by Euronews. #EnergyCrisis #EUGasDemand #WinterPreparedness

What is the government doing instead? Increasing public transport fares, trying to import fracked gas, and selling our water, electricity, and data out to big tech and their data centres! #PublicTransport #BigTech #EnergyCrisis #Thetweetdoesnotmentionspecificcountries.Therefore #therearenocountrycodestoreturn.

We need energy credits to protect people from the cost of living crisis, and price controls to stop profiteering by energy companies. We then need massive state investment to rapidly move us away from reliance on fossil fuels, paid for by the big rich polluters. #CostOfGreed https://t.co/7QatNNI1cf #CostOfLiving #EnergyCrisis #FossilFreeFuture #Nocountrycodesidentified.
