“Gas transmission via the Nord Stream pipeline has been fully shut down until the operational defects in the equipment are eliminated,” Gazprom said in a statement, without providing a new timetable for when flows will resume.
On Wednesday, Gazprom CEO Alexei Miller said the West’s sanctions on Russia had prevented Siemens Energy, a pipeline equipment supplier, from doing routine maintenance.
“It’s not the fault of Gazprom that the resources are missing,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said earlier on Friday. “Therefore, the reliability of the entire system is at risk
:eu-cool: :stonks-down: :fuck-around:
Called the cops on my dealer and now he won’t sell to me, da fuq? >:(
UK subreddit not taking the news well at all. Lol, shock now when it’s starting to affect them
They probably thought Ukraine would have won the war by June or something
this is fine! I mean, it’s not like Europe gets cold in the winter
The issue isn’t the temperature. The issue is the industries.
Once the reserve is gone they will shut industry to preserve the ability to provide home power.
Once industry is shut, it will start to close, permanently.
Many of these industries can’t just be started again. They operated as an ecosystem of interdependent industries that evolved from the old world when many countries had the proper resources to construct and supply themselves and didn’t just outsource to the global south.
Chunks of these industries literally won’t be able to be rebuilt, not without complete societal structural changes. Or giving up on rebuilding those industries entirely and just letting them go forever.
The situation is seriously seriously bad and something will have to be done or shit is going to start collapsing really really quickly.
Fuck it you probably already know all this but w/e I’ll post it anyway.
So many people seem to have absolutely zero concept of industry requiring power that requires machinery made by a different industry that requires parts made by 20 different industries that requires pieces made by 200 industries that requires raw materials made by blah blah blah blah.
That when you lose parts of the chain you lose it forever and building that up again is a process that is not actually simple, at all. You don’t just magic up one industry and all the others appear. There are pre-requisites required for each part of the chain to be viable to build, and while some parts of the chain are currently viable because further parts of the chain exist, if the further parts disappear they become unviable and if they’re unviable you can’t build them and you can’t build anything that extends off them either.
They got constructed in a time when they were viable, and remained viable because of things that rely on them. Now those old parts of the chain are gone and it makes it utterly impossible to reproduce the chain again.
This is what building the forces of production is. A process that takes a long ass time and collapse is a monumental setback if you don’t have the conditions for parts of the construction anymore.
They will have to decide if they are willing to part with some of these industries forever. And the political effects of the damage that will do.
Chunks of these industries literally won’t be able to be rebuilt, not without complete societal structural changes.
:sicko-yes:

What is it that stops them from just reopening the factories once the gas starts flowing again?
Ok so I’ll do this with a simplified completely hypothetical set of examples. Imagine you’ve got a rubber factory.
Your rubber factory is viable because it makes seals for a factory that makes pipes for cars that need a certain type of seal.
Your factory that makes these pipes is viable because the rubber factory exists nearby (making it cheap to get what they need) and because the car factory they sell to is there.
Your car factory is viable because your pipe factory exists nearby making it cheap enough to get the parts nearby.
Your rubber factory is ALSO viable because it sells tires to the car factory. Your rubber factory becomes non-viable without the car factory.
If the rubber factory goes away. It can’t come back without the car factory. But your car factory can’t exist without the pipe factory and your pipe factory can’t exist because the rubber factory is gone. None of this can come back now.
The rubber factory was originally viable for completely different reasons in different industrial conditions of the country that no longer exist.
How much you wanna bet that the Neolibs in power fully understand this reality and will expect people to freeze to death in their homes to keep the factories running?
People being able to cook for themselves at home will always be held in higher priority than the factories. Workers will not work if they do not eat. This is why power to industry will be shut down to keep people being able to eat rather than the other way around.
German, Britain even the U.S. are fuck. The politicians truly brain dead, Brandon just get a little breathing room because of gas going down just shoot him self on the foot
All American industry still left relies primarily on German shit, if German ability to produce new equipment breaks down, you’re gonna be seeing a lot of issues on the factory and warehouse side. There’s sites that rely on 30 year old equipment and code just being continually replaced with the same parts, and when upgrades do happen they’re still stuck in the Siemens ecosystem because anything else is so much damn work. If Siemens starts breaking down Rockwell’s gonna get real big, but all of your treats (and your fucking food may I add) will start to experience huge issues behind closed doors for the indefinite future.
