As a German I'm uncertain of what I'd want. I can totally imagine next winter being harsh, lacking power and heating. I'm less afraid of that than I am of it being a cause for people to use it to build national pride along the lines of "do without for the sake of Germany and your fellow man"... I don't think I'll have a problem living without heating in the winter... electricity is probably harder. I think the media message that will go along with it might change something in Germany I don't want to see.
