[\u2026]\n<p>The President of the European Commission warned people this week that the time to start conserving and building stockpiles of oil and natural gas was yesterday. And it\u2019s not just going to be Germany and Italy that are suffering. It will be the entire continent. [\u2026]\n<p>Germany previously secured a third of its natural gas from Russia. That amount has been slashed in half and may fall to zero before winter arrives. The Germans are shutting off the heat to public swimming pools and showers. Public spaces with outdoor lighting are having a percentage of the bulbs removed. Thermostats in government buildings and public schools are being lowered.<\/p>\n<p>In the Netherlands, a new public program has been launched called \u201cFlip the Switch.\u201d People are not allowed to run the water in their showers for more than five minutes. Laundry is to be air dried on clothes lines, not in electric dryers. And citizens are being told to use sun shades and hand-held fans to keep cool and shut their air conditioners off. Spain just passed a law forbidding people from setting their thermostats lower than 27 degrees Celsius (81 degrees Fahrenheit) in summer, nor raising them above 19 degrees Celsius (66 degrees Fahrenheit) in the winter. No details as to how they plan to monitor and enforce that law have been provided yet.<\/p>\n<p><b>SENATE FINALLY HOLDS A SINGLE HEARING ON SPECIES-ENDING DESIGNER VIRUSES\u2026 <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2022\/08\/03\/gop-senators-review-gain-of-function-research-covid-19\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2022\/08\/03\/gop-senators-review-gain-of-function-research-covid-19\/&#038;source=gmail&#038;ust=1659705627644000&#038;usg=AOvVaw0C8W_-GnsVNKsSos14Cz0R\">GOP Senators Review U.S. Government\u2019s<\/a> Funding, Promotion Of Research That May Have Created COVID-19<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Senators on a key Homeland Security Subcommittee argued for an expansive review of gain-of-function research, which opponents argue may have created the COVID-19 virus, during a first-ever hearing Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p>Gain-of-function research is broadly defined as any research or experimentation that can make a virus or disease more transmissible or deadly. President Barack Obama imposed a moratorium on such activity in 2014, but President Donald Trump lifted the ban in 2017. Although Trump instituted a committee within the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to review gain-of-function research proposals, critics like Republican Kentucky Sen.
