The European energy shortage has forced authorities across the continent to take extreme measures to reduce and encourage the reduction of energy consumption.

The Mayor of Paris has said that the Eiffel Tower will be turned off several hours earlier than usual in a bid to save energy, with the move reducing the tower's energy consumption by 4%.

Across Europe, authorities are turning off lights in public buildings, reducing temperatures at swimming pools, and encouraging residents to take shorter showers.

Reducing energy by a tenth, hardly seems like it will make a dent. What's going to happen this winter with Europe??  For that matter what's going to happen to the U.S. this winter???
