Europe's energy crisis could end its leisure lifestyle era

Original: No one (and that includes me) is ready for the end of the sidewalk-cafe and tour boat era, but it's a thing. Preparation

A commentator points to new RUSI research on the growing threats to Europe's energy supply, arguing that everyday pleasures like sidewalk cafes and tour boats may not survive a prolonged energy squeeze. The argument is that few people are psychologically or practically prepared for austerity, and that preparing now is the least foolish stance available.

Why now: Fresh research from the defence think tank RUSI on threats to European energy security has prompted reflection on how a crisis could change daily life.
