Strom- und Gaspreise

Die Schweiz hat auch einen riesen Vorteil, sie hat keinen Boersenkater, der immer noch nicht gemerkt hat, dass es alleine mit den sog. Erneuerbaren in einem Industrieland nicht geht. Und der hohe Gaspreis wurde von unserem Wirtschaftminister initiiert, der die Order ausgegeben hatte, Gas zu jedem Preis zu kaufen, um die Speicher voll zu machen.

Und dabei ist dem Wirtschaftsminister und den anderen Gutmenschen mal wieder recht egal was die Konsequenzen fuer unbeteiligte (arme) Drittstaaten sind wenn sie als Top-Bieter den LNG Markt aufmischen. In Laender die vorher schon am straucheln waren wird die politische Situation richtig unangenehm....das Chaos in Pakistan und anderen Laendern laesst gruessen:

Every day, businesses and homes are bearing hours of power outages as Pakistan can’t import enough LNG for the power plants, they added.
“Every molecule of gas that was available in our region has been purchased by Europe because they are trying to reduce their dependence on Russia,” State Minister for Petroleum Musadik Malik was quoted as saying in the report.
What’s worse is that in some cases, cargoes destined for poorer countries are sent to Europe instead.
According to experts, doing so is profitable even if the suppliers agree to pay penalties under contracts with developing nations.
The world’s supply of the natural gas used to produce power is scooped up by European countries, according to Valerie Chow, who heads gas and LNG research for Asia Pacific at the Wood Mackenzie.

Poorer nations like Pakistan pay the price for EU’s scramble for gas

Europe's campaign to quit Russian fuel is designed to punish Moscow for its invasion of Ukraine. It's also wreaking havoc thousands of miles away from the conflict, plunging Pakistan into darkness, undermining one regime and threatening the stability of the country's new leadership.

A decade ago, the world's fifth-most populous country took specific steps to insulate itself from the kinds of violent price spikes that are roiling the market today. It made a massive investment in liquified natural gas and signed long-term contracts with suppliers in Italy and Qatar. Now some of those suppliers have defaulted, though they continue to sell into the more lucrative European market, leaving Pakistan in exactly the position it tried so hard to avoid.
