After the Swiss and Finns joined the Germans, Austrians, and Swedes in bailing out there energy providers, who are facing trillions in margin calls; new legislation covering Switzerland’s energy supply will make heating homes to more than 19°C unlawful in the event of an energy shortage.
In addition, hot water should not be heated to more than 60 degrees, and portable electric heaters, saunas, and heated swimming pools are prohibited.

Go long in the sweater business in Europe. Add firewood that too. LOL. And the smug eurotrash laughed at Trump who warned them against putting all their energy eggs in a single Matryoshka doll.
ReplyDeleteSwiss here. This is much exaggerated. In particular the billboard claiming that neighbors get a reward for reporting each other: That was started by RT and is complete nonsense.
ReplyDeleteThere are guidelines, but most of our thermostats are not even calibrated in degrees. Literally no one is going to be checking whether you heat to 19C or 20C.
I suppose if someone is really egregious about it, and heats their house until is smokes, someone might notice and care. Otherwise, no...
Swiss here. Not true.....
DeleteIf your t-stats aren't calibrated in degrees, what type of measurement do you use?
DeleteCelsius, or in your case to confuse you Kelvins...
DeleteA typical Swiss thermostat is just numbers 1-6. There's usually one in each room (or on each radiator), and you set it to where you are comfortable. In our (new build) house, there aren't even numbers, just lines.
DeleteI expect most people will turn their thermostats down a bit, but basically no one is going to be running around with a thermometer.
Are your prisons heated?
DeleteThat might be incentive...

And there are those useful idiots who believe we should be like the Euros; forgetting that most of our ancestors fled Europe to get away from this sort of control.
ReplyDeleteRight, because because losing control of the thermostat in your own house could never happen. Certainly not in places like California or Colorado.
DeleteThe swiss took the side of the money launderers in the kraine, I'll bet your swiss leaders aren't cold this winter.
ReplyDeleteGood thing I don’t live in Switzerland I think Mr. 357 would think otherwise
ReplyDeleteBrings back memories of the suggestion that the greenies freeze in the dark.
ReplyDelete"portable electric heaters in swimming pools are prohibited.".
ReplyDeleteThat is something I agree with.
😉😊😎😇
The swiss have *ended* their longstanding adherance to neutrality. There's no taking that back.
ReplyDeleteThe Swiss without their saunas? A sauna was a better pick-up location than a bar back in the day.
ReplyDeleteAnd in CA that idiot Newsome sitting in a closed room telling folks to turn down the thermostat, all the while wearing a zipped up fleece jacket and ball cap. Yeah, really concerned about the power consumption.
