Analysts say this year's energy crunch may have impacts lasting for years. When gas supplies from Russia started to dwindle earlier this year, European countries set a goal of filling natural gas storage facilities to at least 80 percent of capacity by Nov. 1. Latest data show countries have surpassed that level, topping 90 percent in early October and adding to that since then. But experts say that while high storage levels may help avoid rolling blackouts and rationing as some had feared, that does not mean the biggest obstacles have been surpassed." Count
