Another story says 600,000 German households have no electricity because the prices have gotten so high. The prices are higher because of this “green” crap.

Germany, with its subsidies has already lost to China in solar production.

It is amazing how that works out.,

Over here we are closing coal burning power plants....by order of the EPA.

Thanks for this tidbit. Wonder how “green” one feels when ones toes are turning blue?

It seems like people are learning the lessons everywhere but here in the US.

Coming to the USA if we continue.

We need that headline for all to see....will post it.

So once they close down most of the nuclear reactor sites, and the long hard winters increase, with decreased efficiency in the power grids due to long term icing of all the panels (sunlight not reaching the cells, ice and snow of course tend to reflect light), they will fall into the “dark ages” yet again.
