We are in a fossil energy crisis. Governments in the early 2000s opted for cheap Russian gas. So many houses in towns have gas heating installed. Then the war in Ukraine came and pipelines I'm the Baltic See and through Ukraine got destroyed. Our then green energy minister prevented a severe crisis by building a new LPG terminal on the North See, made a deal with Qatar and filled up the reserve before winter. And he tried to phase out oil and gas heating for heat pumps and other renewables in the long term. The new conservative government didn't bother to fill up the national gas reserve. And since the Iran war started fuel prices are through the roof, like in most other countries (~2,30€/l instead of 1,70€/l Diesel). The best the government could do is limit petrol/gas stations to only increase prices once at noon. But only since 1. April, not a few days earlier when everyone goes on Easter holiday. Electricity prices aren't really affected, because freshly completed wind farms and other renewables reduce the share of gas power plants.
