The natural gas price for the EU is up sharply now the Trump-Netanyahu war escalates again. Close to €60/MWh now; that's 100% compared to the price before the war vs 'only' 50% for oil (Brent).
Not a good combination with sluggishly filling up our gas storages. I guess we'll notice in winter.

"Tori Tsui, stood alongside Andy Burnham last year on World Environment Day when the then Greater Manchester Mayor endorsed the Fossil Fuel Non Proliferation Treaty proposal, calling it a “lifeline” to end coal, oil and gas. Today [Friday], her petition was sent to the Prime Minister urging him to stand by that commitment and reject Rosebank."

One thing I still seem people who have gas cars get wrong about charging is they think about it like "filling up".
But you don't fill up an EV. if you have 50 more miles to drive on a trip you charge to 70 miles not to the full 80% or 100% charge.

i'm so annoyed with petitions being like "we are against $bad_thing, but we also implicitly or explicitly recognize the motivation for $bad_thing as legitimate and propose the following shitty compromise."
i guess this will appeal to some centristy wishy-washy types, but are those even the people who will likely see that petition in the first place?

Growing nervosity in Germany on the low filling level of its gas storages: only 50%, six weeks before the end of the usual filling season. No lessons learned from years of Russia (and now Trump) using gas to pressure Europe, and Trump's war in the Middle East. https://www.tagesschau.de/wirtschaft/en…

Halfway the EU gas storage filling season, the Netherlands is lagging. Our storages are only at 31% now, way behind the EU average of 53%, and other major storage countries like France (52%), Germany (45%) and Italy (71%).
Based on security of supply advice by Gasunie, Dutch government had set a target of 80% by 1 November 2026. Our EU obligation is 74%. Both would practically seem out of reach by now, which is unfortunate in view of our dependence on LNG imports in an unstable world.
