## Resource

Europe’s gas crisis just got fiercer as Asia’s rising demand and aggressive spot-market bidding threaten to outmaneuver the EU. With storage levels below average and summer prices soaring, Europe’s fragmented energy purchasing system—born from the Ukraine war—has failed to deliver. While China, Vietnam, and South Korea snap up supplies with centralized power, Europe’s free-market approach leaves it scrambling. A hotter Asian summer could spike demand further, forcing Europe to bid higher or risk falling short. Experts warn prices may stay elevated into winter, and the EU may have to abandon its storage goals altogether. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
