It will be a lot more than Covid, but that's not saying anything since Covid killed no one.

Maybe you can sit in your coal burning cars and keep warm and just abandon your houses for the winter.

6ix, you did NOT read the editorial. It does NOT have the rhetorical argument you are making: "How many people will Biden* and his war on Energy and his war on Russia kill this winter worldwide?" -- 6ixStringJack

What it does argue is that: "The present gas crisis has its origins in the Chinese-driven surge in gas consumption during 2021. Demand grew so rapidly that it was only available for European and Asian purchase at very high prices."

6ix, here is the whole editorial. Read it for the first time.

A winter energy reckoning looms for the west

World economic growth still requires fossil fuel production but long-term climate ambitions must stay in place

HELEN THOMPSON

The writer is professor of political economy at the University of Cambridge and author of ‘Disorder: Hard Times in the 21st Century’

Across the world, politicians are ever more desperately looking to contain the explosive consequences of the energy crisis. In those parts of Asia, the Middle East and Africa already mired in multiple economic and political difficulties, the crisis is proving catastrophic.

Those who import liquid natural gas must now compete with European latecomers to the LNG market seeking an alternative to pipelined Russian gas. In early summer, Pakistan was unable to complete a single LNG tender. In poor countries, a large proportion of the state’s resources go on subsidising energy consumption. At prevailing prices, some cannot: earlier this month, the Sri Lankan Electricity Board imposed a 264 per cent increase on the country’s poorest energy users.

In Europe, governments want to alleviate the dire pressures on households as well as energy-intensive and small businesses, while letting spiralling prices, pleas to consume less and fear about the coming winter drive down demand. Fiscally, this means state funding to reduce rising energy bills by subsidising distributors, as in France, or transferring money to citizens to pay those bills, as in the UK.

What is not available anywhere is a quick means for increasing the physical supply of energy. This crisis is not an inadvertent consequence of the pandemic or Russia’s brutal war against Ukraine. It has much deeper roots in two structural problems.

First, unpalatable as this reality is for climate and ecological reasons, world economic growth still requires fossil fuel production. Without more investment and exploration, there is unlikely to be sufficient supply in the medium term to meet likely demand. The present gas crisis has its origins in the Chinese-driven surge in gas consumption during 2021. Demand grew so rapidly that it was only available for European and Asian purchase at very high prices. Meanwhile, respite from rising oil prices this year has only materialised when the economic data from China is unpropitious. In the International Energy Agency’s judgment, it is quite possible that global oil production will be inadequate to meet demand as soon as next year.

For much of the 2010s, the world economy got by on the shale oil boom. Without US production more than doubling between 2010 and 2019, the world would have been trapped in a permanent oil crisis since 2005, when conventional crude oil production — oil drilled without hydraulic fracturing or from tar sands — stagnated.

But American shale cannot expand at the same rate again. Although the largest US shale oil formation — the Permian Basin in western Texas and south-eastern New Mexico — is projected to reach record output next month, overall US output is still more than 1mn barrels per day below what it was in 2019. Even in the Permian, daily production per well is declining.

More offshore drilling, of the kind opened up in the Gulf of Mexico and Alaska by the Inflation Reduction Act, will require higher prices, or investors willing to pour in capital regardless of the prospects for profit. The best geological prospects for a game changer akin to what happened in the 2010s lie with the huge Bazhenov shale oil formation in Siberia. But western sanctions mean that the prospect of western oil majors helping Russia technologically is a geopolitical dead end.

Second, little can be done that would immediately accelerate the transition from fossil fuels. Britain’s planned micro nuclear reactors will not be completed until the 2030s. Running electricity grids on solar and wind base loads will require technological breakthroughs on storage. It is impossible to plan with any confidence what progress will have materialised in 10 years, let alone next year. But precisely because an energy transition is essential to reduce fossil fuel consumption, large-scale, blue-sky investment is imperative.

The only way forward is realism for the short term, recognising that there is no way back to cheap energy, allied to radical, long-term ambition. A grasp of geopolitical realities is also essential. The US remains by some distance the world’s dominant power. Its naval power guarantees open waters for international trade. World credit markets depend on dollars. But Washington does not have the power to direct China and India’s energy relations with Russia.

This coming winter will bring a reckoning. Western governments must either invite economic misery on a scale that would test the fabric of democratic politics in any country, or face the fact that energy supply constrains the means by which Ukraine can be defended.

I did read the editorial. It was leftist propaganda and lies. I made my own inferences.

No thanks. I don't need to see how FT is running defense for the Biden* administration twice.

Cold winter incoming. A lot of people are going to die thanks to the Biden* administration's war on Energy and Russia, and the Democrat's unnecessary and hugely expensive lockdown measures that we'll be paying for for the rest of our lives.

Guys like you get fired like you did because you go into the boss' office and bamboozle the boss with lie after lie. At first it might be amusing to the boss, but eventually, when you can't stop lying, the boss fires you. 6ix, your communications are voluminous, error-riddled, and dishonest. It is completely unsurprising what happened to you because of your particular style of writing.

I'm not lying. What about my last post sounded untruthful to you?

Do you not believe that I do not believe the media lies?

Oh yeah? What happened to me, exactly?

Are you talking about the part where everything I own is paid for? Or maybe the part where my communications are eclipsed only by my free time in their voluminous nature and I'm making improvements to what I own with that free time for pennies on the dollar to what most other folk would pay for the work?

Have fun working at Starbucks today, coffee bitch wage-slave. Say high to Karen for me.

Everything you write, 6ix, reminds me of the schizophrenic who lived next door. That smart guy could outtalk anybody. But he couldn't outtalk reality. I'd give you his name so you could track on the internet the trouble his mouth has gotten him into, but all you'd do with information is cause trouble for me. By the way, almost nothing that you wrote here is true:

6ix, if you don't know what is false in those few sentences, you are as out-of-touch with reality as any schizophrenic is. Good luck with your fantasy based life, 6ix.

Schizophrenia Delusions: These are false beliefs that are not based in reality. For example, you think that you're being harmed or harassed; certain gestures or comments are directed at you; you have exceptional ability or fame; another person is in love with you; or a major catastrophe is about to occur. Example from 6ix: More people will die this winter from Biden's war on Energy and Russia than died of Covid.

What is the True Prevalence of Schizophrenia in the United States? The prevalence estimate of schizophrenia is 1.624%, or 3.8 million adults based on data from the 2010 census. This schizophrenia estimate is still likely an underestimate because it misses incarcerated adults who lose Medicaid coverage and those who have never had a treatment contact that would be captured in Medicaid records.

You are not a doctor.

Fuck your medical opinions.

In the meantime, my life is both stress free and fulfilling.

It really sucks to be you though, huh?

The only person on these boards that enjoys talking about me more than I do is you, buddy.

No. I won't go out on a date with you.

Winter of Discontent: Germany to Implement Energy Rationing Amid Fears of Gas Riots

Damn. It looks like Germany is taking it back to the 1800's right now.

I wonder if they're still thrilled about all the Muslim pedophiles and rapists they welcomed into the country with open arms now that they've got to share what little energy they have with 'em.

You forgot to mention Jews in Germany. If only there were no Jews there would be both more Lebensraum and natural gas for those of pure German blood.

https://encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/article/lebensraum

Since 6ix won't click the above link because of his fear of contamination, here are 3 paragraphs on "Lebenraum":

Background

Renowned German geographer Friedrich Ratzel coined the term in 1901. He and many others at the turn of the century believed that a nation had to be self-sufficient in terms of resources and territory (a concept known as autarky) to protect itself from external threats.

Ratzel and others were also deeply influenced by the new work of Charles Darwin and his theory of natural selection. However, they mistakenly applied the concept to nation states, contending that, like the species Darwin studied, nations too struggled over resources for survival where only the fittest would win. Ratzel argued that the development of a people was influenced by their geographic situation, and that a society who effectively adapted to one geographic territory would logically expand the borders of their country into other territory. Pointing to the British and French Empires and to American “Manifest Destiny,” Ratzel contended that Germany required overseas colonies to relieve German over-population. The East presented another logical outlet for growth.

Long before the Nazi period, many Germans looked to eastern Europe as the natural source of their Lebensraum. Beginning in the Middle Ages, the social and economic pressures of over-population in the German states had led to a steady colonization of Germanic peoples in eastern Europe. Increasingly by the twentieth century, however, scholars and the public alike began to view the East as a region whose vast natural resources were wasted on racially “inferior” peoples like Slavs and Jews. A biological view of Lebensraum resonated with an inaccurate historical view of the German role in the East during the ancient and medieval periods. Expansionists clung to this mythic German “history” in eastern Europe, arguing that these regions were actually lost German lands. As one German publication stated in 1916, “we Germanic people build up — create — the Slav broods and dreams — like his earth.”

Putin is influenced by the concepts of Autarky and Lebensraum, but Russia is expanding today toward the West, the opposite direction from Germany's expansion. Putin says Ukraine is lost Russian land.

An Especially Cold Winter: How Trump Caused the European Natural Gas Crisis

The 2015 Iran nuclear deal offered Europe a way to diversify natural gas supplies, but instead Europeans were left at Russia’s mercy. Iran has the second largest natural gas reserves on the planet, though these supplies are currently cut off from the market by U.S. sanctions. Iranian politicians are referencing their ability to alleviate Europe’s crisis amid ongoing talks in Vienna to lift sanctions in exchange for limits on Iran’s nuclear program.

Murtaza Hussain, September 8, 2022, 6:00 a.m.

The original nuclear deal with Iran was reached in July 2015 and full implementation was confirmed in January 2016. Five months later, Donald Trump would announce his run for president, campaigning on tearing up the nuclear deal. By the time he was elected in November 2016, it was clear to the Iranians that the nuclear deal was hardly worth the paper it was written on.

Watching these events, the world had quickly realized that Iranian energy supplies wouldn’t be reliable, giving other countries little incentive to help Iran build up its natural gas infrastructure. By the time Trump exited the deal entirely in 2018, plugging into Iranian natural gas supplies would be too risky for European investors.

There was a clear incentive to spread the risk around by adding Iran to its energy mix, but thanks to a volatile president and national security hawks in D.C. utterly indifferent to European concerns, that opportunity to chart a different path was lost.

In that sense, America’s reckless actions in the Middle East over the years have worked to tie Europe’s hands and prevent it from independently developing an energy policy that would allow it to resist the bullying from Russia that it is experiencing today. If the deal had been allowed to flourish, without the clear signal less than a year in that it would imminently collapse, it’s possible the necessary Iranian natural gas infrastructure would already be in place.

And it’s not just natural gas: Iranian oil could also ease energy costs around the world — oil that is also similarly constrained by U.S. sanctions.

Trump canceled a good deal with Iran because he said he could negotiate a better deal, which never happened, but Trump did cancel Iran selling natural gas to Europe. Pfftt all you want, 6ix, but Trump allowed Putin to price gouge Europe on natural gas.

Trump didn't kill the Iranian deal negotiated by Obama? Trump did kill it is the truth. Iran doesn't have the second largest reserves of natural gas in the world? Iran does is the truth. Iran exports natural gas to Europe? Iran would if it could, but it can't because the Iranian deal Obama negotiated was killed by Trump because Trump hates Obama and Trump thinks of himself as a masterful negotiator with Iran, which he truthfully is not.
