Germany fully bought into the green energy transition, but its economy is now showing serious signs of weakness as a prolonged energy crisis runs its course.
The country is aiming to have its energy supply and demand reach “net-zero” emissions by 2050, relying on sources like wind, solar and hydrogen fuels after former Prime Minister Angela Merkel decided in 2011 to eventually shutter the country’s nuclear power plant fleet. Despite the German government’s regulatory and spending blitz to usher in the green transition, the country is not on track to meet its climate goals, but its decision to rely on intermittent green energy generation has contributed to an ongoing energy crisis that is crippling its economy.
“Hollowing out the economy is not benefiting the German people, nor is it helping climate change,” Diana Furtchtgott-Roth, Director of the Center for Energy, Climate and Environment at the Heritage Foundation, told the Daily Caller News Foundation. “It is not reducing emissions, because manufacturing is being shifted to other nations, like China and India, that use dirtier energy.

“Germany Went All In On The Green Transition. Now, Its Economy Is Crumbling”
Letting the Neocons BLOW UP THEIR PIPELINE, without even a whisper of complaint, probably didn’t help them much either.

“Port Talbot has been sacrificed to the angry god of net zero”
Germany’s CO2 emissions per capita are actually now higher than Poland’s
$500 billion spent on “green energy” and they have more CO2, higher prices and grid instability to show for it.
When woke, green globohomos control your country, these kinds of things happen. As if this stupidity wasn’t enough, they doubled down on idiocy by sanctioning to hell their most stable source of real energy.
Eine Kline DOH!
The governing parties have nothing left but to demonize the “Far-Right” January 6th style alleging a sinister meeting in Potsdam on deporting people from Germany.
Port Talbot has been sacrificed to the angry god of net zero

More likely, with their foreknowledge and wholehearted approval.
BTTT
Looks more like a muppet every day.
Recent “economic refugees” hardest hit. But being unemployed they’ll have more time to hit up German frauleins.
Wir sind idioten!’’. We are idiots!
He is almost unrecognizable now with respect to what he looked like when he ran for President. Major plastic surgery on his face, IMO.
DANKE MERKEL
I could teach a chipmunk how to ride a Harley before John Kerry grows any brain cells
It has ALWAYS been about the transfer of wealth.
I saw that over the weekend. You have to hand it to the governments over there in Europe. They get their masses all fired up at Putin, while they quietly DISMANTLE their economies in the name of ‘climate change’, likely sending them back to the Middle Ages when they’re done.
They are INCREDIBLE! Even able to blow up their energy lifelines without a peep!
