Germany's selfless suicide to assist a bunch of people with an ideology that would land them in prison if they stepped foot in Germany continues.

Germany is trying to draw up agreements with major users of electricity to reduce consumption this winter in case gas is rationed for power generation.
The two biggest grid operators in the south of Germany are approaching huge manufacturers like BASF SE to find out how much electricity demand they can cut if needed, perhaps for a few hours a day as winter approaches.
Amprion GmbH Chief Executive Officer Hans-Juergen Brick said “constructive discussions” with industrial consumers are under way to possibly curb consumption. However, it remains to be seen how much those users can cut while continuing to operate, he added.
The other grid operator, Tennet TSO GmbH, said it is also holding talks with companies.
As Europe’s largest economy, Germany is at the center of the region’s energy crisis. The nation produces about 15% of is power from gas, a key driver in setting power prices, and it has filled its stockpiles to the brim to prepare for winter.
Still, in the case of a cold snap there could be a power shortfall because supplies are likely to be diverted to meet household heating demand. Germany has been reluctant to say whether cuts might be necessary this winter compared to neighboring France, which could have hundreds of hours of blackouts.

Germany's LNG terminals to cost more than double earlier estimate
The purchase and maintenance of floating liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminals to help Germany secure energy supplies and diversify away from Russian gas, will cost more than 3 billion euros ($3.10 billion) more than planned, the economy ministry said on Sunday.
Overall, the costs are estimated at about 6.56 billion euros, the ministry said, confirming a report in Der Spiegel. That compares with 2.94 billion euros estimated in the country's 2022 budget.
"Further costs have been determined in extensive consultations with numerous stakeholders and initial forecasts have been specified," said the ministry on Sunday, citing operating costs and additional infrastructure on land.
