In my case the problem is that I literally can’t work (meaning, program) if the temperature is less than 22C. Warm clothing, hot drinks, nothing helps. Tried many times. Hope that electric heating will still be legal.
Yes you can.

Make sure you office is the smallest room and get a space heater to keep it at your desired temprature

All the electronics keep the room relatively warm, so most of the heating is actually turned off in that room :)
It's not too late to invest in mining and energy extraction equities - many are still highly underpriced before the major funds roll into the sector
I bought an electric blanket so I can warm myself in a cheaper way at least part of the time.
With that being said, it's easier to heat yourself than it is to heat the living space, so bundle up!
Installed solar power last year and an air source heat pump. My pellet burner is still going to be the main source of heat/hot water though. Got pellets at the start of the year (with only 80% premium over last year, now the prices are 3x of what they used to be ), have wood to offset use of pellets and even some coal [just in case]. Replaced every bulb with LEDs from IKEA. Set all rooms in the house to 18-19 c. Goin…
20c is incredibly warm. As a broke college kid living on the east coast we kept the furnace at 55F (13C) all winter. Wear a jacket. Double socks. Drink warm beverages. Get up and do some push-ups. If you’re reasonably young and healthy, you’ll survive.

- Move to more energy efficient dwellings
- Get good insulating windows
- Get an AC/heat pump
- Substitute old appliances with more modern and efficient ones
- Get an induction stove, much more efficient than a gas stove
- Thermal clothing does wonder.
- You can easily sleep in a cold room if your bed is properly insulated, if you are still cold consider heating your bed with an electric heater.
- If you take frequent showers/baths, consider doing some of them with cold water (which has a lot of health/cognitive benefits btw), for baths you can easily install a filtering/reflow device like the one used for small pool, insulate the bathtub, for showers simply use less hot water / less water in general.
- Almost all EU states should have programs in place to ease these sort of upgrades
Are people actually going to freeze? My understanding so far is that industry will freeze (as needed) so that all the reserves can be used for people. I get a feeling that this crisis is becoming more media-gorging-on-crisis-clicks than it is an objective analysis.
