Germany has 0 LNG capability and is for Gas largely dependent on the Netherlands now that Russia is gone. However the Dutch are scaling down gas operations because of earth quake damage and most its LNG capability will be used internally. So that means no new gas contracts with 2 of their largest suppliers.

Germany is going to need the little gas it has for heating and its industry. It's going to need all the gas it can save by using Nuclear for electricity (instead of gas) cold winter or not.

At least the LNG terminal construction is sped up and “0 LNG” will hopefully not hold true for long.

Winters in Germany are cold, period.

Source: I'm German and live in California now. Not a surprise to me that homes here don't have any heating at all, unthinkable in Germany.

Old people would literally die.

I have memories of when our heating would break down in some winters, living in an old building with bad insulation (which is very common). You could wear a thick jacket inside and a thick blanket but your hands are freezing so much you can't even type on a keyboard.
