That is, traders were paying other traders to take contracts for gas deliveries off their hands. EU energy prices are artificial! There is no scarcity. This is a planned strike on the EU

So, in Germany, the Greens put a bill through the Bundestag that would put a 90% windfall profit tax on every Euro of energy profit.
They've all but nationalized the electricity market in Germany. It's a cost-plus model. Two days later, the Netherlands and France walked away from the Energy Charter Treaty, a treaty that basically prevented any attacks on energy companies through legislation. They could craft all the climate legislation they wanted, but it couldn't overtly harm energy investors. I think both are about to do what Germany has just done.
Davos has been trying to make conventional sources of energy uninvestable, and I think this is their big move towards that.
