The Germans aren’t laughing now.

In fact, gas prices are so high in Germany today that wood-burning stoves and firewood have become scarce nationwide.

Nothing new, my sister and family lived in Germany for many years, and they returned about 10 years back.

She said if you were visiting, you ask permission to turn on the lights!
They took vacations at the coldest time of the year to turn off the heat at home and save...

Didn’t the Krauts just chop down several hundred acres of the Black Forest to make way for a solar/wind farm?

War will be over soon—two months. Russia’s greatest general will win this one as he did in the past. He beat Napoleon (The greatest military mind of his era) and Hitler (with the most powerful military machine in the world) Who is this general? General Winter, with commodore Frost and Lt. Generals Ice and snow. Its going to be a cold winter. Germany will be Green in 2023 why? Dead bodies make great fertilizer.

My grandmother talked of burning furniture to keep the family warm during the depression. I guess they can’t do that now with all the press board plastic infused crap they use to make furniture these days.

Dear Germany, you have forests all around you. You have fireplaces that you probably boarded up. Call the chimney sweeps to make sure the are safe before winter arrives.

This is FAKE NEWS!!

Everyone knows that we are on the verge of spontaneous combustion on a planetary scale caused by the burning of fossil fuels. The very idea that they would need “heat” is ridiculous in the face of man made global warming, which is about to make the planet explode, at least according to the Governments Worldwide and all the schools,news,entertainment industry,...
