Очень холодная неделя
Feb. 5th, 2026 01:25 pmЕсли судить только по количеству потраченного на обогрев газа, то самая холодная в истории.
US natural gas consumers withdrew more gas from storage last week than they ever have before due to a powerful late-January storm.
Consumers withdrew 360 billion cubic feet of gas in the week leading up to Jan. 30, the largest weekly storage decline on record.
Stockpiles totaled 2.463 trillion cubic feet, 1.1% below the five-year average, after being 5.3% higher than average a week earlier.
Но так судить не совсем правильно, т.к. газ постепенно вытесняет уголь и мазут + растет население и количество обогреваемых домов.
ИИ суммирует:
The week that ended on January 30, 2026, experienced extremely low temperatures across a large portion of the U.S., but it was not officially recorded as the coldest ever. However, it was notable for its severity and geographic scope, with many areas experiencing record low temperatures.
