PARIS, 24 August 2022, (TON): Woolly socks and thermostats turned down a notch: Europeans are preparing for a difficult winter without gas supplies from Russia, part of the fallout from the war in Ukraine.
Latvians have been adjusting since the end of July, when Russia stopped supplying gas to the Baltic former Soviet state.
They know what to expect in the coming months.
Juons Ratiniks said “energy prices are so exorbitant that we already cut off the hot water from the city pipeline and installed our own hot water boiler.”
“It is cheaper to use it when we actually need it than pay for constantly heated hot water,” supplied centrally, the retired border guard explained.
Politicians need to understand that people expected help when their energy bill started shooting up, said Ratiniks. With elections due in October, he warned “they better support heating for us otherwise we’ll give heat to them.”
