Not really surprising given Mad Vlad's antics at the moment. May not be good news for the environment (time will tell) but might help some people avoid the worst of the cold.

I think it's a necessary evil. The higher gas price will accelerate RE rollout, so perhaps more coal in the mix will balance out against more RE (sooner) when it comes to CO2 emissions. Plus Russian (and US) gas has very high CO2(e) emissions due to the vast amount of methane leakage.

S'funny ole world.
