Dorin said that he had to tell customers frequently that there was no electric heating in the store, and he could not guarantee when the supplier would ship.

"Maybe we will be in September, October or November. No company can tell them whether they can ship, because everything is sold out. This is a big problem." Duolin said. "Everyone wants to buy heater, because if (winter) does not have natural gas, the family will be cold."

Gu Petra, the prosecut of Dolin Store, said she is now urgently needed to buy a heater. She is worried that if the supply of natural gas decreases or the price has soared further, she will have to reduce dependence on natural gas and rely more on electricity. "I'm worried that there will be problems. If I don't have heating, if someone has a healthy problem, at least you need a warm bathroom. Maybe we can't take a hot bath, so I urgently need it (electric heaters)." Petra said Essence

Desperate Europe

The stoves of some countries are sold out, and wood theft is rampant

Obviously, when the unpredictable winter is getting closer and closer, Europeans are becoming more and more desperate. The 60 -year -old Munich old man Memetus said that despite knowing that European energy prices are soaring, when he received a 70%August of energy expenses than Chang Gui, he was still surprised.

"I'm scared." Memette, who was suffering from a variety of diseases, choked and said. After deducting the rent, his monthly electricity and heating fee increased from 110 euros to 190 euros, which made him only 360 per month. Multi -euro is used for daily expenses such as food, medicine and transportation. He said helplessly: "I have to buy a lot of food. How can I pay the rent in winter?"

It is reported that although European countries have been working hard to reduce imported Russian natural gas and promise to provide individuals and enterprises with hundreds of billions of euros in financial assistance. However, these measures do not completely offset the impact of large rise in energy prices.

In the UK, the shy residents in the pocket began to abandon pets. The school warned that rising energy costs means that they will not be able to buy new textbooks. A survey shows that nearly a quarter of the British plans to not open heating this winter. The price of sky -high gas has made many Europeans look at another kind of heating material -wood.

↑ Europeans started planning to burn firewood to winter

In some countries, the burning stoves are almost sold out. German chimney cleaner Nobert said that more and more Berlin people have begun to refurbish old stoves or install a new one. According to reports, when the European heat raged this year, many people began to hoard wood, causing wood prices to soar. Most EU member states are facing a shortage of firewood. In Germany and Belgium countries, wood prices have risen 2.5 times.

This has also led to increasingly rampant wood theft in Switzerland and other countries. A number of Swiss wood producers said that the boxes of firewood stored in the factory "disappeared." Wood producer Samuel Bicherberg said, "A quarter of the wooden boxes in the factory were taken away without paying."

Although experts warn that illegal cutting and the use of old -fashioned stoves will make combustion wood unswerving, many people feel that they have no choice. The 41 -year -old Berlin, Shunfeld, said that there was no conflict on Russia's sanctions, nor did it not significantly weakened Russia, but it caused huge harm to Germany, "Americans are watching comfortably."
