We should switch back to working from home for now.

1. Work from home
2. Compare the cost of this vs having built more renewables infrastructure, imagine how reduced the impact would be if nuclear, renewables, home batteries and vehicle charge points were in a much better position
3. Don´t come crawling back to us when after this something comparable occurs and yet again the cry is „who could have seen this coming“

At the same time, Hungary caps fuel prices and basically incentivizes more consumption 😂😂

Told coworkers to consider using public transport. For some of them, it was as if I had said something bordering on insulting.

And yet far right in Europe (for example Poland) are pushing for more fossil fuels consumption.

Look, I am a big city dweller. I can not drive for a month with zero impact.
My wife not so much – she works in a suburb. A plumber in Bumfuckshagen, Denmark… well he may not have a choice.

Thank god that Merz did everything he could to bring us back to oil and gas. What could possibly go wrong.

Everything about this article is so off. I cant find anything in any Danish media to suggest that this is actually something from our minister of transport.
We also dont have any phrases that could ever translate to „please, please, please“ without it being a really far-fetched translation. I’ve literally never seen Google attempt to translate anything that way, and I’ve taught English to lazy pre-teens for nearly a decade.
E: Im an idiot. Energy minister said it, and he said „please please please“ in a Danish phrase, which complete threw me off, as its not a particularly official-sounding statement.

manual laborers are the ones who will be affected, anyone with wealth, as usual is generally immune to such „problems“.

I adore Denmark and it’s invariably sensible but this is weird. It’s a flat, postage-stamp sized country. Small, really small. Why the fuss?

This honestly should be the push to make all nations of Europe look at their plan to move away from fossil fuels and really commit to it.

Funny to see this in a country where people already cycle quite a lot and that actually has their own gas resources
Also in countries where people use more car is due to decades of investment in the wrong place that „forces“ people to use the car. Asking pretty please wont change decades of investment in roads and none in public transport..

My parents asked me how I’m dealing with gas prices yesterday. I reminded them that I’ve been driving EVs for nearly 10 years and don’t even know what is considered low/high any more.

I don’t know why I read that as „drilling“ and I was like damn those Danes ain’t messing around, they WILL find that oil

Having spent a lot of time in Denmark over the years, it’d be a whole lot easier to not drive if the trains weren’t as disappointing as they are. Expensive, slow and dreadfully unreliable.

Any Americans who doesn’t already live in Europe shouldn’t be allowed to drive. Tourists wanting to drive the NC500 in Scotland can get a bus and cycle. A business executive going from Glasgow Airport to the centre of Glasgow can do the same. America caused this so their journeys should be non-essential by default. If Trump gets voted out and oil prices return to normal then we can re-negotiate this arrangement.

Another solution: Drive electric and produce your own fuel with photovoltaics.

Europe is much better equipped to handle spikes in oil prices than the U.S. is. Europe has a well developed mass transit system that actually works. Europe’s urban development is generally walkable and accessible without the use of automobiles.
Americans will be totally fucked if we, in America, have shortages and $200 oil. The cost of sprawl….

Sorry can’t do. Boss still wants me to come to work so I can sit in online meetings all day.
They should appeal to employers instead.

This will always be a issue when so much of the oil comes from the middle east. Solution: switch to electric cars so fewer is dependent on foreign oil.

A side remark that will rightfully go almost completely ignored. No need to use it to build a narrative of energy starved Europeans. We’ll survive pretty ok.
