And, have you changed your shower head to save hot water? Does your kitchen now often stay cold because it doesn’t use electricity? And have you finally explained to Grandpa that he has to give up his full bath with the scent of spruce needles from now on, because a shower will do, preferably cold, for the circulation?
Since the first alarm level of the gas emergency plan was declared, saving energy has been the first duty of the citizen. And for those who still don’t understand what a gas crisis means, Federal Economics Minister Robert Habeck speaks sharply to their conscience almost every day: “Gas consumption must be reduced wherever possible. Otherwise it will be difficult”, “Every kilowatt hour helps in this situation”. , “We are facing a national effort … Every contribution counts”. But because the raised index finger is not so well received, Habeck also tries to give personal encouragement: “I stick to what my ministry recommends. I have significantly reduced my shower time again.” That was in the Spiegel interview at the end of June.
Showering less, cooking less, defrosting the freezer compartment – friends and colleagues are increasingly saying that they want to help save a lot of energy. But what do all these efforts actually bring, apart from a calming of the conscience? In any case, the friendly employees at Stadtwerke München are already a bit exhausted from the many inquiries from citizens and journalists who want to know how it works, really save, and how much it actually brings. So much can be revealed: a first assessment of the summer abstinence is as frustrating as looking at the scales after the first day of the diet. The cold shower is only a weak answer to Putin’s gas deprivation.
