GERMANS SLASH ENERGY USE AMID PRICE SPIKE FROM MIDDLE EAST CRISIS
About two-thirds of Germans are cutting energy consumption as prices rise due to the Middle East conflict, according to Verivox.
A survey shows 52% are using less electricity, 55% are turning down heating, and 47% are reducing hot water use. Nearly half of drivers say they are using their cars less, opting instead for bicycles and public transport.
The findings are based on a survey of over 1,000 people conducted by Innofact for Verivox.
