Residents of European nations look to burning firewood and wood pellets as gas shortage worsens amidst the Russia-Ukraine conflict. In the past, people relied on natural gas to keep warm in the mornings and firewood in the evenings. But gas is now in shorter supply, creating a crisis in Eastern European countries. “I won’t use gas anymore, so it’s going to only be wood,” Popescu, a resident said, “but what I have isn’t enough.” Europe’s energy crisis, triggered by the Ukraine conflict, has forced some people to turn to cheaper heating sources.
