More freezing news

[wiseheart]

Eighteen Hungarian districts (the same as the various states in the US, just much, much, smaller) have decided that schools would be closed for the first three days of next week, to save energy. Of Budapest itself and the one district still left are no news so far.

I'm of two minds about what I'd wish for us in Budapest. Staying home would be nice, of course, but that would mean working longer in June, when it's unbearably hot. There are no normal weather conditions anymore, it seems.

Well, we'll see. It's not my decision, after all. Whatever the PTB decide, I'll try to make the best of it.

Soledad, I am very sorry that you and your fellow hungarians are now hostages of the energy and price spat. It's unfair and very, very, very bad.

I also expect that it will lead to people trying to find other energy ressources and getting less dependent on Russian gas, in the long run. Which will undermine whatever short-termed success Gasprom may get now. Basically, what the Russians do right now is pretty unwise.

Of course, that is not going to help you..

Well, perhaps not immediately, but hopefully in time... We don't have any gas shortages right now here, in Budapest. These measures are only considered to save our meagre reserves. The strange thing is that we actually do have gas in Hungary, they just don't seem to be able to bring it up for some mysterious reason.

Thanks. It seems that fifteen of the districts chose to have school on Monday after all, so it's rather unlikely that we won't. Besides, Budapest is in a much better shape; on the country, the major problem is that the kids sometimes have a long way to school, since the smaller local schools got closed - for financial reasons, of course.
