Our prices have already gone up and I'm bracing for more of an increase. But it's a small price to pay to get the EU of Putin's energy teet. Where I live in Poland the country isn't dependent on Russian gas since they still burn coal here (bleh) as a way to not be energy dependent on Russia and apparently have done so for years. Will be interesting to see if prices go up even further here because of this, if at all.
Other EU countries will be hit harder I'm sure. But from what I have seen and read on various EU news sources and broadcasts, most people are fully onboard with shutting down NS2 and paying extra, if it means hitting back at Russia. Most Europeans know what's at stake here and have been prepping for a while.
