"IF this becomes critical for europe, what are the alternatives besides freezing to death?" They will have to dust off all those coal burners they've been trying to get away from. Germany will have to rethink their policy on shutting down their nuclear reactors. Given the way this has played out, there are going to be a lot of cold people. Maybe that will stimulate more pressure to finding alternatives, but... Bottom line, they have to increase their use of coal as an immediate solution. In their favor, the price of dry, bulk shipping is at a multi-decade low. But it takes time to mine the coal, clean it and transport it.
