China's Surging Power Usage Worsens Europe Supply Crunch

Oct.04 -- Surging power consumption in China is worsening the supply crunch in Europe, where gas inventories are at the lowest level for this time of year in more than a decade. Helen Robertson and Maria Tadeo report on "Bloomberg Markets: European Open."

Seriously? Blaming china for European incompetence?!?

[samy]

Eu dint keep enough gas storage hence suffering but nah let’s blame China

[netterdrachen]

Is there anything that can't be blamed on China?

[realartistx]

And what? why should China care about European supply chain! We dont have that relationship to care about each other!

I'm glad she mentioned nuclear. It's eventual rehabilitation in the minds of policy makers is inevitable in order to reach emissions goals while providing dependable base load power.

Nord Stream 2 pipeline was finished but USA does not allow Germany to pump gas through it.

[edwardduda]

China is also still boycotting Australian coal, which is a substantial amount of its coal supply.

[pedrolopes]

If France Italy and Germany had allowed Spain to building the transmediterranean gas pipelines between Morocco and Spain and between Tunisia and Algeria there would be plenty of gas in Europe

[elnorton]

US should stop manipulating the price of energy sources

[analytic_panda]

start to produce real things and stop printing money

Energy crisis in UK greehouses down in the Netherlands govt is selling us a dream there is not enough metals or money to fund this green energy US power grids are ancient can the US find workers to fix them in time for winter with our tax dollars? And what about my safety how come govt isn't trying to protect me from this?

[davidreisinger]

Your fundamental analysis of the Chinese outage is wrong. It’s a supply problem not a demand issue

[vvirplj]

China's over half the world's green energy br7h

[yongchen]

If only American. Consumers consume less and Wall Street care less profit, then China would not make so much goods and therefore uses less energy and the world is less polluting and Europe would not have an energy crisis crunch like they are now. It needs a global solution for a global actions on energy and pollution.

[dodgygoose]

Sounds like fuel prices are about to sky rocket around the world.
Its going to be a good day for Renewables.

[megetmorsomt]

When you're a "green" energy lunatic and wind stops blowing and the sky turns gray... guess what happens...

[jingjing]

Why dont you say europe energy crisis worsen china electricity shortage?

[dassa]

Forget alternative fuels. In the end when the heat goes off and the lights go out they'll burn the furniture. In an era of Peak Oil which is unsustainable at any price, when they come to their senses they will rely on King Coal.

[stockey]

I'm happy to live in Quebec, we have plenty of cheap hydro electricity.

China has nuclear power plants. The trouble is that the new ones still take 20 years to build so they're not ready!
